Fostering transforms lives – it’s always amazing to see children and young people achieving great things thanks to a loving and caring fostering environment.
One of our looked after young people has written movingly about their experience, showing the powerful and positive difference that fostering can make to a life.
PHOENIX from the FIRE
From dysfunctional beginnings and the prospect of no future, with the possibility of being separated from the only person I could trust and talk with at that time … my self-esteem was at rock bottom.
I was then placed with a Swiis Foster Carer, where my journey began.
I was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum, and my brother and I were placed with loving foster carers.
From that point on with the advice, help and support I received, my world changed. I can now stand confident and proud alongside my brother looking forward to a bright and successful future. I am now studying at university for a degree and feel that I have risen like a phoenix from the fire.
