Vinnie's health deteriorated shortly after losing her wife therefore this was a second challenge Vinnie had to overcome in a relatively short period of time.
Vinnie shares really positively how having some care and support on a regular basis has now helped her regain her independence meaning she can get out again and enjoy living her life; health permitting.
