Help Strengthen a Bio Family
This dedicated single mother has been working tirelessly to turn her life around and is now on the verge of regaining legal custody of her daughter. She has worked to secure a full-time, stable job and is already employed. However, her biggest challenge is a lack of reliable transportation. A monthly bus pass, which costs $35, would provide her with the support she needs to maintain her job and continue building a stable future for her and her daughter. Your generosity could make a meaningful difference in her journey toward independence and success

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
We are seeking urgent assistance for a determined single mother of six children who is actively working to rebuild her life after courageously leaving a domestic violence situation. She currently has an open Protective Services Case with DCFS and has made significant strides toward independence, having secured her own home, employment, and transportation. However, recent reductions in her work hours have put her behind financially. She is currently facing immediate hardship, as her vehicle—which is vital for maintaining her employment, transporting her children to school, and attending essential appointments—is at risk of being repossessed tonight. She initially secured this vehicle with a deferred down payment of $500 and now owes two car payments of $206 each, plus the deferred payment. If she cannot pay at least $300 to the dealership by tonight, she will lose the car. Losing her vehicle would severely disrupt her progress, impacting her ability to support her family, maintain employment, and ensure her children's daily needs are met. She has worked incredibly hard to meet all DCFS requirements and provide a safe, stable environment for herself and her children. Your generosity could make an immediate, life-changing difference for this family, allowing this dedicated mother to continue moving forward toward a brighter, more secure future.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
We are reaching out to request urgent support for a single mother who recently escaped an abusive relationship, leaving her and her autistic son without stable housing. Currently, they are temporarily staying with a friend. Unfortunately, the blow-up mattress the child was using got punctured, forcing him to sleep on a pallet placed directly on a cold, hard floor. This is particularly challenging and uncomfortable for him, given his autism and need for stability and comfort. The mother has been unable to work because she is dedicating her efforts to finding an appropriate day program that can meet her son's special needs, as he requires significant one-on-one care and support. We kindly ask for assistance in providing a suitable bed or mattress for her son. Meeting this need will greatly enhance his comfort and well-being during this difficult transitional period and help alleviate some of the emotional stress on both mother and child. Your support will make a profound difference, offering them a sense of security, warmth, and dignity as they begin rebuilding their lives.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
We have a family in desperate need of pest control services. In the home are two small children with special needs, dad and grandfather. Mother is currently out of the home but is starting to transition back to living in the home. The home and family suffer from multiple infestations including bed bugs, scabies, roaches, and mice among other things. They are in dire need of initial pest control with some ongoing maintenance thereafter and do not have the financial resources to do this. This will help continue to maintain two children with some extreme special needs in their own home with the family that they are familiar and comfortable with caring for them and their needs. Supervisor currently has a call into Allstate for a more accurate quote for all services requested.

The baby is sleeping in a bassinette however, she is too mobile for this to be safe any longer. The home also does not have central heat and they are all struggling to keep it warm enough for the baby. We are requesting a crib and crib mattress and space heater for the family. Thank you so much for any assistance!
