					<description><![CDATA[How a single mum found help for her family]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Liza was a pregnant single mum, working night shifts to care for her family’s future. When her baby, Raisya, was born, she needed time to find a new job with regular hours and a better home environment to raise her daughter.  </p>
<p>She knew it was impossible to handle everything on her own. So she did the bravest thing she could do. </p>
<p>She asked for help. </p>
<p>This is a story of strangers becoming family.</p>
<p>Watch how Faith and Luki filled the gap between homes as respite caregivers.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Honouring Foster Mums who fight for the cause of family with love.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>You saw it as a cause worth fighting for<br />
It didn’t matter where they came from<br />
What mattered was where they were headed to<br />
The children had no home to go and so you said come<br />
And because your stepped out of your way<br />
They could finally find theirs.</p>
<p>To all Foster Mums, we honour you!</p>
<p>Show your love and celebrate a Foster Mum this Mother’s Day. DM us a short story about her and we will send her a surprise Mother’s Day gift over this weekend! &#x2764;&#xfe0f;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Giving a child the gift of family.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>“When I first entered the Children’s Home, I was really hopeful of getting a family who can love me. But after praying for 3 years… I just gave up all hope of being fostered.”</p>
<p>Over the years, nobody chose Jane. She was convinced her chance was over and had given up hope on having a family. But when Jason and Irene decided to foster her, she realised that she was not forgotten. God was answering her deepest wish and she may finally have a safe, stable and loving environment to grow up in. </p>
<p>Find out what happened to Jane. Did she stay on with them? Did she get along with Jason and Irene’s children? How did fostering Jane affect Jason and Irene’s own family? </p>

					<description><![CDATA[Saying the things that matter, to the ones who matter most.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>We rarely say the things that matter, to the ones who matter the most.</p>
<p>If you struggled with a difficult pregnancy<br />
If you are a single mum doing your best to make ends meet<br />
If you are a mum raising a child with special needs<br />
On this Mother’s Day, we celebrate and honour you.</p>
<p>Thank you for giving so much even when you had so little<br />
Thank you for appearing strong even when you were weak<br />
Thank you for choosing us even when we didn’t choose you.</p>
<p>Ma, Mum, Mama, Mummy<br />
You are beautiful both inside and out<br />
You are so much more than you give yourself credit for.</p>
<p>We hope you know that you are seen<br />
We hope you know that you are loved<br />
You are the Mum we want to be some day.</p>
<p>Happy Mothers Day &#x2764;࿠f;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>When Edwin &#038; Soo became foster parents to Eileen (not her real name), they faced many unexpected challenges. It took such a toll on the family that they wondered if they had made the right decision to start this fostering relationship.</p>
<p>But they soon realised that the struggle of foster care wasn’t the whole story. Because as intense as the challenges were, the joy was intense too. </p>
<p>Watch how one family’s perseverance brought hope, healing and breakthrough not just to their foster child but also to themselves.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Fostered from birth yet beautifully loved by 2 families.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>While most newborn babies go from hospital to home, Baby Kaela had a different story. </p>
<p>Kaela was fostered out the same day she was born. Her biological family couldn’t care for her and given their circumstances, fostering would be the best care plan they could hope. </p>
<p>Her grandmother cried out to God with a desperate plea, that He would find a loving family for her granddaughter. But could a stranger ever love her granddaughter as if she was their own child? </p>
<p>Find out how one family changed the life of a child and be inspired on how you can make a difference too.</p>
