Krystyna lives with disability and been on a long journey to find a supported living arrangement. Krystyna, Krystyna\u2019s mum Caroline and Angela from Chorus tell us about what it\u2019s like to be independent and supported in your own home. Angela helped Krystyna to find an Individualised Living Option (ILO), an NDIS package that funds people to live independently. Through Support Coordination Krystyna now lives with a friend and has drop-in supports. She has more freedom and independence. It\u2019s all about capacity building. \u201cYou pay your own rent, your own bills, you organise your grocery shopping, plan your meals.\u201d says Angela. Krystyna has a lovely home and garden where she is growing vegetables out the back. She loves art, dancing and going out with her friends.  Her mum has taught her how to cook and Krystyna is quite the chef! \u201cWhat's different is I want to move forward... be a good friend to Jess and a housemate,\u201d says Krystyna. \u201cAnd I'm going to keep on going forward. Don't go backwards anymore.\u201d Credits Podcast Hosts: Louise Forster and Dan Minchin Opening Voiceover: Ryan Burke Opening Music: \u201cWattlebird\u201d by Dylan Hatton Music Interviewer\/Producer: Judith Hatton Post Production: Matthew Clark Special Thanks To: Krystyna Caroline Jess Emma Angela Johns Maddie Bull ","author_name":"Chorus Voices","author_url":"https:\/\/chorus.org.au\/","html":"
