Sarah, Graham, and Nasratu’s fostering journey

“The reasons why I have kept in touch over the years because firstly, Sarah and Graham were the most lovely, caring and compassionate people I first met in a country where I knew no one. They were so kind and taught me most of things I needed to know. The main important thing was ‘family-bound’. I never felt left out in the White house family. I felt love and cared for even though I was worried that, as a child, I couldn’t get that.

Secondly, it created a friendship bond and I’m always happy to talk to them and update each other about our lives. They are the best people I have ever met and I am so thankful to God for meeting them.

Having completed my degree in Media Studies, I had a hard time finding a job, but needed money, so I have been working as a Nursery Teaching Assistant for the past 2 years and hosting events like weddings and birthday parties in my spare time. My dream now is to become a Social Worker. Victoria (my Social worker) inspired me so much.”

“We love keeping in touch with Nas. She is very warm and loving and she makes us laugh! We are really proud of the way she has achieved a good degree at Uni and is being a blessing in her work with children at the moment.
Nas is planning to re-sit her English GCSE this year so she can start training as a Social Worker. Regular encouragement is so important to help young people achieve their dreams.”
