10-year old needs our help!

A 10-year-old boy who has been on Nauru has recently been enrolled at Cannon Hill State School. While the family is living in the community, the father is in detention at Pinkenba. Ms Chris Ling who is principal at the school has put out a request to R4R for assistance. Obviously, the young boy has very high support needs and Ms Ling has released an aide from all other duties to be his constant support.  While the school been able to access $3,000 towards this, it will require a further $3000 just to get through this term.  The principal is confident that given the right supports, they can assist this boy to begin to deal with the trauma he has experienced. Ms Ling is asking if Redlands for Refugees has any capacity to respond to this need.  

Can you assist?
