Fostering Stories

Caring for a Child from Chernobyl

Respite Care for Ksoosha – a Child of Chernobyl

Once a year, Julie takes unpaid leave from her job at our Truro office to offer a respite for a child from abroad. She shares her story about caring for a child from Chernobyl with her husband Gary.

We bring the best together to help you.

We are lucky to have some of the best staff available at our Truro team. They are all dedicated to helping turn children’s lives around.
