Family Strengthening

Support for families in difficult situations
One family that went through their difficulties:
...”Alone we couldn’t have done it. We knocked lots of doors but no one listened to us. Thank you for giving us the light of hope and giving us the chance to continue living with our sons”...
Foster Care
Young man who grew up with foster carers:
...”It was hard but while I grew up, I assumed my situation: on
one hand, I had my birth family and, on the other hand, my other
family with whom I grew up. And I had to respect both....
I learnt to live in freedom. My experience like a child in care
was a learning of loving and believing. Now I have my own family,
I am a happy man and I understand the importance of family for a
child. What they have done for me, now I do it for my son”...
One birth family:
...”It appeared a light of hope for the future of the two of us. My daughter is really well because of the love and warmth from a family who wants to take care of her. And also she has the security of knowing that mom is still with her and that when we get over the bad moment, we will be together again. But it will be different, we won’t be any more alone because there will be one more family in our hearts and for sure the affectionate ties between us will never break”...
One foster family:
...”We feel that it is worthy. To support a family in difficulty, to receive a child in care, is like lighting a candle in the dark sea, and despite being little, it lights the life of many people and brings the possibility to light other little candles so that we can make a clearer and brighter world”...
