Urgent care needed for Melanie

Family Spirit is in urgent need of a carer for a young girl. *Melanie is 9 years old, the youngest of eight children, she loves connecting with her family over the phone and at family gatherings but is unable to live with them.

Melanie needs a caring home, a stable environment and role models to help her feel safe and secure. She loves gymnastics, making up dances, and animals, and also enjoys taking time to relax with activities like colouring in and reading.

Melanie is happy to engage with other children during activities and at school but still needs to be supported to learn appropriate social and peer group interactions. A female carer with no other children would be the best fit for Melanie.

A long-term solution would be great for Melanie, but if you know anyone that could help out even in the short term, we would love to hear from them.

No experience is necessary, and age is no barrier, all that is required is a safe home and a commitment to providing the care and support that Melanie needs.

If you know someone who could help Melanie please share. For further information contact us or call our team on 13 18 19.
