Sienna needs a forever home
Meet Sienna. She’s 13.
Her mum entered rehab when she was very young. She doesn’t know her dad and has no extended family. Her younger brothers have found their forever home but she is being supervised by case workers in a group home. She is currently in year 8 and a bright girl, and loves anime and playing the ukelele. She is worried she is too old to find a foster home.
Can you help us find a home for Sienna and show her that every child deserves a loving forever family?
Can you care for a child like Caitlin?
Meet Caitlin. She’s 10.
Caitlin has experienced separation from her family due to abuse and neglect. Despite the hardship she has experienced, Caitlin is a resilient little girl and does well at school.
Are you open to exploring foster care and caring for a child in need like Caitlin?
can you care for a sibling group?
Meet brothers Tyson, Michael and Calvin. They are 9, 7 and 4.
Their parents are in prison, and they need a stable home. There are no extended family members to take them in, and they’re scared and confused.
They keep asking who will look after them once their emergency placement comes to an end. Could this be you?
Can you care for a child like Sam?
This is Sam. He is 4. He loves preschool and adores his foster carers. Unfortunately his carers recently divorced and his foster mum’s mental health declined rapidly. As a result she is struggling to look after Sam so he needs a new stable home as quickly as possible. Right now Sam is living in emergency motel accommodation with paid workers. He’s just a little boy. He deserves so much more. Can you help us find a home for Sam?
Do you have a place in your heart & home for a child in need?
There are so many children and young people who cannot live at home.
Our priority is to ensure they have a safe, stable home. Can you help?
