CatholicCare's Fostering Futures program are seeking separate forever homes for two boys, Lachlan* aged 11 years and Jacob* aged 9 years.

Lachlan is a happy, loving boy who would like a family who can take him to the park to ride his scooter, kick a football around or push him on the swing. An ideal carer for Lachlan is someone who can help him find his feet in new surroundings.

Jacob has a strong connection to his Samoan heritage. He loves to play Pokemon on his Nintendo Switch and watch superhero movies. He enjoys swimming, soccer and basketball. Your consistency and stability will help create an environment that is loving, predictable and somewhere Jacob feels safe.

There is a critical shortage of foster carers at the moment and Lachlan and Jacob have both been waiting for a long time for their forever homes. They are currently living with a roster of staff who are meeting their basic needs, but like all kids they deserve a home where they feel safe, secure and loved.

CatholicCare have over 30 years' experience helping carers give vulnerable children a loving home and a brighter future. Carers receive comprehensive support including training, regular case worker support and career allowance for the child's day-to-day financial needs.

If you can provide a safe and supportive home for Lachlan or Jacob, or kids like them, we'd love to hear from you. Please call 0418 783 956 or email fosteringfutures@catholiccare.dow.org.au for more information and we will support you every step of the way.
