Host family needed

Bethany Christian Services needs help for a family in need. A young woman  going to law school in Philadelphia will soon become the legal custodian of her 12-year-old sister as her mother is terminally ill.  Bethany is looking for two families to serve as host families for the 12-year-old, allowing this woman complete law school, have her sister close to her, and prevent her sister going into foster care.One family would be the primary host family; the other would provide occasional respites for them. During law school breaks such as Christmas and summer, the older sister will be able to care for her younger sister. There are a variety of other ways in which you can volunteer: serve as a tutor, provide transportation to appointments, make a meal for the host family, befriend the family, and more. Training will be provided. If interested, contact Jill at Bethany Christian Services 215-376-6200 or jpage@bethany.org.
