The
Fostering Network is an organisation that I was first introduced to by a very
dear friend Amanda. She and I became involved in fostering when I was asked to
become her sponsor which in turn enabled her to become a foster mother. Four
years later, she has two wonderful boys and I feel privileged to have in some
way made it possible for her to undertake such an altruistic role in their
lives. There are too many children around who have no family, too
many children who have desperately sad stories and yet very little is heard
about the self-less individuals who open their homes and most importantly their
hearts to make the lives of these children complete and happy.
The
Fostering Network is a charity for everyone involved in fostering and has been
established for over 30 yrs. They provide advice and support for established
foster families, recruit new foster carers and run training programmes for
young people in foster care. The BIGGEST challenge they face is that of
raising the profile of fostering so that a greater level of support can be
offered to those families already established. This in turn is hoped to
encourage more adults to come forward so as to help the 51,000 children who
need foster care on any one day in the
I
very much hope that you would consider sponsoring me, in order that all the fostering
parents in the
can help as many children as possible.
I
will have to get mentally and physically fit and have started already so I
can achieve this worthy challenge. I am sure you will be with me each step of
the way!
Thank
you.
