“Today I caught up with Naomi Clarke and her husband Paul… I’m pleased to say that we’ve found a way to help meet Naomi’s unique needs, and she’ll be able to keep living at home.”
— Premier Weatherill

NEVILLE —

Today we awake after yesterday being such an emotional day trying to convince the powers of my worth — and we have the grand news to share that Paul & I get to remain together at home.

Yesterday morning we met the Premier Jay Weatherill in person. As friends, family and supporters joined us to deliver the petition to his office, he left a cabinet meeting to come out and accept our petition. And he actually listened, committing to funding the home care we need going forward.

I would like to thank each of you, your family and friends for supporting and believing in love and life despite disability. Though we should not have to go to such measures, today we can breath and know that we can make a difference and that each and every one of us matter.

To receive 62,000 signatures through our change.org petition goes beyond anything that Paul & I could have ever hoped. It’s all been a bit of a whirlwind and shock — especially with our success being covered by so much media. Last night we were on Channel 7, 9, 10, ABC News and radio, in The Advertiser and lots more.

If, like me, you’d like to say thanks to the Premier for actually listening — you can leave a message on his Facebook page right here.

Once again, thank you so very much for everything you’ve done for Paul and myself. We will never forget it. 

Kindest regards,

Naomi & Paul Clarke
