The organisation Life Without Barriers (LWB) is hosting information sessions on what that would involve on June 1 and 2 and Leeton residents have been urged to give the idea some serious thought.
LWB is currently seeking compassionate individuals, couples and families to become foster carers by providing long and short-term care or weekend respite foster care for children and young people in need.
Carers can range in age and cultural background and can be single, same sex couples, defacto or married, and have their own children. All one needs is a caring and stable home environment.
“We need foster carers to share their home, heart and time with a child or young person,” LWB’s Jeannine Farrell said.
The information sessions in Wagga will be held at the RSL Club on June 1 at 10am, 1pm and 6pm and again on June 2 at 10am and 1pm.
