I am writing to sincerely recommend Tracey family who welcomed my daughter Sara into their home for 9 months. As Sara's parents, we could not be more grateful for the positive and rewarding experience this family has provided for our child. From the moment they started welcoming our daughter, we have seen how they have a safe, warm and caring environment. They have not only provided our a comfortable place for our daughter to live, but they also made sure to integrate her into their family life and daily routine, which has allowed our daughter to flourish. into their family life and daily routine, which has been an incredibly personal and cultural experience for her. Tracey has always cared about our daughter's wellbeing and has always been accessible and communicative, keeping us informed of her progress, needs and happiness. Although David spent less time at home, he was very kind and loving to our daughter, and equally concerned for her welfare. He was also very detailed with Sara, like buying her Spanish ham for her lunch! Sara also misses the children with whom she got on very well and with whom she still keeps in touch. They are both very good children. Finally, their openness and respectful attitude towards different cultures and customs made our daughter feel accepted and valued. Living with them has enabled her to develop new skills, learn new perspectives and feel part of a family that genuinely cares about her well-being. For all these reasons, I have no doubt that the Tracey family is an exceptional family that provides a safe and welcoming environment for any young person or student lucky enough to be placed with them.
