Imagine receiving the life-altering news that your child has been diagnosed with a serious illness and then losing your job when you take time away to look after them.
Christina Harris has lost her job of 19 years because she is looking after her daughter Skye who has been diagnosed with leukaemia. Christina courageously shares her struggles of balancing the care of her critically ill daughter with the fear of financial insecurity.
Christina tells us about her petition, demanding the government makes it a parental right to take a career break for families grappling with serious childhood illnesses. Garnering over 80,000 signatures, Christina's fight has drawn significant attention but still lacks solid governmental backing. Is it too much to ask that parents' jobs be held open for them until they can return to work?
