Foster mum praised for Ramadan preparations for Muslim foster child

Important religious occasions are often a time for celebration, but for foster kids it is can be a painful reminder of being uprooted from their families. One foster mum is garnering praise after showing her efforts to celebrate Ramadan in her home for her Muslim foster child.

Tanika Bonneville, 22, posted a TikTok video detailing her preparations.

She has provided dates in an advent calendar which will help break their fast, decorated the house with lanterns, a countdown calendar to Eid, a DIY wreath with "Ramadan Kareem" (meaning "Have a generous Ramadan") written on it, and more.

Viewers were grateful to see the effort that the foster mum was making.

"This speaks volumes...You are appreciated and valued more than you know," said one commenter.

"I'm going to cry (because) me and my sister never got this when we were younger," wrote another.

"Thank you so much for this, so many Muslim kids in the system aren't able to practice their religion most of the time so it's so heart warming to see," another explained.

"This is wonderful of you. Honestly. If only people were as kind-hearted and as respectful as you," said one commenter.

"I'm learning and trying to do the best I can. I see all 'criticism' as positive too," she wrote in a comment.
