One Home Can Change Everything
One home can change everything.
Not a perfect home. Not a superhero home. Just one committed home can change the entire trajectory of a child’s life.
Because somewhere in Elgin right now, there is a real child waiting…
Family & Children’s Services of St. Thomas and Elgin (FACS Elgin) is convinced “One Home Can Change Everything”. So much so that they have created a series of videos featuring Elgin County Foster Caregivers, in an effort to recruit locally.
There is a significant shortage of Foster Caregivers across the province. In some regions, the lack of homes for children and youth involved in the Child Welfare sector is so critical that agencies are having to access locations well outside of the child’s home community.
But here in Elgin, we do things differently. Our community steps up when there is a need – and there is a need NOW!
In the words of our Foster Caregivers …
“Knowing that you have a positive impact on a young child’s life and their future carries more weight than any sleepless night or difficult day you may have.”
“Becoming a foster parent has definitely added more joy to my life.”
