Aoife P. Rafter: “Our society is supposed to support people with disabilities”

Aoife P. Rafter has just launched her personal health and wellness blog and has been cocooning due to her health throughout the pandemic.

We’re close to half-way through our second lockdown here in Ireland due to the Covid-19 pandemic and things are tough for many people across the country. As people struggle with being separated from their loved ones, it’s important to remember why we’re putting this effort in and who these actions are truly benefitting.

Aoife P. Rafter is a young woman from Kildare who has endured an unimaginably difficult time with her health. As a life-long Cystic Fibrosis sufferer and Cervical Cancer survivor, Aoife cocooned for 17 weeks in her Kildare home during the first lockdown.
