Habitat for Humanity South Australia is thrilled to welcome our new partner family, Nyssa and her children. Nyssa, a dedicated specialist foster carer for over three years, has provided a nurturing home for numerous children. Her journey, marked by resilience and compassion, has now led her to a place of newfound hope and stability with the support of Habitat for Humanity.

Nyssa's story is one of determination. As a long-time renter, she faced the constant fear of losing her home due to the challenges that come with fostering children with special needs. Her eldest daughter, who is very active, often struggles with regulation, leading to moments of outbursts that can result in property damage. This, in turn, places Nyssa's rental history at risk, adding a layer of stress around lease renewals and the possibility of homelessness.

Despite these challenges, Nyssa's unwavering commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment for her children never wavered. The dream of owning her own home, where her children could have the space and freedom they need to thrive, seemed distant until she discovered Habitat for Humanity. With each step of this journey, Nyssa has embraced hope, envisioning a future where her children can flourish in a home tailored to their unique needs.

Through Habitat for Humanity, Nyssa will have a place to call her own – a home where her children can decorate their rooms, play freely, and grow without the constant worry of property damage or lease renewals. This new home will not only provide stability for her current children but also allow Nyssa to continue her incredible work as a foster carer for many more children in the future.

Nyssa's story is a testament to the power of hope, community, and the belief that every family deserves a safe, stable, and nurturing home. We are honoured to be a part of Nyssa's journey and look forward to seeing her family thrive in their new home. Welcome, Nyssa and family, to the Habitat for Humanity community!
