🌟 CONSUMER SPOTLIGHT – Shez 🏎️💨

For years, Shez dreamed of riding in a fast car. She’d heard about Driftabilities and couldn’t wait to experience it herself. Despite several applications from her Service Coordinator and staff, Shez kept missing out on a spot.

This year, everything changed! Shez’s Support Worker, Michelle, made it happen, and the excitement was next level. 🙌

On the big day, Shez headed to the event with Michelle and Service Coordintaor, Jodie, to check out the cars. What Shez didn’t know was that Michelle had arranged a surprise… Shez was going to ride in one of the drift cars! 🏎️💨

The look on her face when she found out? Priceless. Jodie says ‘Watching Shez's joy and her million-dollar smile as she went around in the fast car and did some burnouts was the highlight of the afternoon. Shez truly enjoyed her time in the drift car, and it was all thanks to Michelle for arranging this special experience for her..’ 💙
