Bri, 11 years old, WA

Bri has experienced significant changes in her home since her family welcomed her older cousin through kinship care. She generously gave up her own bedroom and now shares a room with her younger sister so her cousin could have a space of his own for the first time. Despite having to adjust to less personal space and changes in her daily routine, she has embraced her cousin with love, kindness, and understanding since the day he was placed in their home. With her mom as a single caregiver for three children (including her cousin), the family has very limited financial resources, but they make up for what they lack financially with tremendous love and support for one another.
