Nelle* has lived with foster carers since 2020.
During this time, she has moved from home to home. The instability it has caused her has been challenging, as she sought a life similar to her peers.
Recently, Nelle has been with the same foster carers, and is thriving.
Since settling in, Nelle has shown significant growth in all areas, and has become more confident and a strong self-advocate.
Her relationship with her carer and their family is strong, and their attachment and respect for each other continues to grow.
Since being with her carers, Nelle has been able to find her voice. She has become comfortable and confident to express herself and advocate for her needs.
Her confidence has allowed her to pursue better education opportunities too. Since making the choice to move schools, she is thriving and engaged in her learning.
Nelle has started singing and piano lessons and plans to study after finishing school.
