It's fantastic when we can support our participants achieve life goals.

Only recently we've been able to experience that when a young girl who joined our services last September was reconnected with her biological father's family.

When she joined our service, she had absolutely no connection to her biological father’s culture and family. She had lost this contact when she was 2 years of age.

From the age of nine she had been expressing to The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) that she would love to meet her father and his other children. For 5-6 years both DCJ and Allambi Care tried to locate her father and his family but unfortunately had no success. 

This all changed recently when she received a Facebook message from her long-lost brother. Following this she and her biological sister met with their brother and learnt all about their family history, where their family had come from and the challenging experiences they all faced moving to Australia.

She is now looking forward to the future, enjoying learning more about who she is and getting to meet her four other siblings… which she didn’t even know existed.
