Thanks to everyone who has signed so far. Between change.org and a second Parliamentary petition asking for these changes we are approaching 5K signatures and hope to reach 15K+ before we hand it over to Parliament early next year. It's just not okay for family carers to get so little support - we appreciate you standing with us to recognise them and help them get the assistance they deserve. It's our mothers, grandmothers, aunties, parents, brothers, sisters, whanau. And it's our kids and young ones too - the most invisible carers of all. Your support will help us make life better for everyone who carers now, and for future New Zealanders who provide this support for whanau.
