Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Mother is a devoted, mother of seven children, ages 5-18. The case came to the attention of DCFS due to physical abuse, general neglect and caretaker incapacity. Ms. Washington works tirelessly to rebuild her life and reunify with her children who are not currently in her care. She is overcoming financial hardships while staying committed to her sobriety. She diligently works to complete Court ordered programs. In addition to working temporary and odd jobs to make ends meet to maintain stable residence in prearrange of reunifying with her children. As part of her progress, her older children now have unsupervised visits, but the home lacks essential furniture to sit and sleep comfortably. This is an urgent need as the Court reported that the children are fast tracked to return to mother's care on 05/07/25. This request will ensure children's safety as the residence will be clean and furnished with beds so they won't have to sleep on the floor. This request will strengthen parental capacity by providing emotional and physical care. This request will lessen her stressors and free up some of her time to spend with her children ultimately enhance the potential for permanency. Any help, big or small, will bring her one step closer to providing a stable and loving home for her children. If you can contribute in any way, it would mean the world to this mother and her family. Thank you for your kindness and support.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am writing to request support on behalf of Mother, who is currently involved with our agency and actively working toward reunification with her children. Mother has successfully completed all court-ordered services and continues to demonstrate commitment to her personal growth and family well-being by regularly attending outpatient services.

Mother has recently secured stable housing and moved into her new apartment. As she works to rebuild a safe and nurturing environment for her family, she is in need of basic household essentials to help her establish a functional and supportive home setting for herself and her children.

Providing Mother with this assistance will not only support her transition into independent living but also further her progress toward successful reunification. We believe that with this support, she will continue to build on the positive momentum she has achieved thus far.

Thank you for your consideration in helping this family take the next step toward stability and reunification. Please feel free to contact me should you need any additional information.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A 16-year-old foster youth was recently placed with his paternal grandmother after years of not knowing each other. Despite the sudden placement, the two are working hard to build a relationship and create a sense of stability.

The grandmother, who is on a fixed income and currently receiving no financial assistance, is doing her best to support him. The youth arrived with only a few items of clothing, most of which no longer fit. He is in need of a new wardrobe and would greatly appreciate gift cards to Tillys, PacSun, or Zumiez. Even donated clothes in good condition would help. His sizes are: XL for undergarments, shirts, and shorts, and 38x32 for pants.

In addition, the youth needs a full-size bed frame, mattress, bedding, pillows, and a dresser, as the home was not prepared for his arrival. Since the grandmother does not have transportation, a bike and bike lock would also make a meaningful difference, helping him get to school and connect with his new community.

This young man has faced multiple placement disruptions, and providing some of these essentials could help him find the stability and comfort he needs in this new chapter of life. Any support—whether new or gently used—would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering this request.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am writing to advocate on behalf of my client, who is in urgent need of steel-toed boots (women's size 10), 2 work pants size 6/8 size medium, and work gloves (large) in order to begin her newly secured warehouse job with expected start date of 7/08/2025. Currently, her available funds have gone to paying her rent for the month of July. These items are essential for meeting the safety and dress code requirements of her employer. My client is a single mother who is determined to maintain stable employment to provide for herself and her young son. Access to this job will offer financial stability and support her long-term goal of self-sufficiency. Without the required work gear, she risks losing this opportunity, which would negatively impact her progress and well-being.I strongly support her request for assistance with these items and urge any available resources or funding to be made accessible to help remove this barrier to employment. Shields for Familes appreciates the consideration of this request.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Mother with four children is in the middle of reunification services and thriving to get her children back. Her benefits were cancelled due to children being removed from home, so we are asking for rent assistance for rent on time for Jy. Assisting mother with this gift will prevent mother from being homeless and gives her children a place to return to once mother completes her court ordered programs and the family reunifies.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Client is a single parent of 4 minor children transitioning into permanent housing on 7/4/2025. Family has been homeless "couch surfing" for more than 2 years and recently was approved for an apartment. During their period of homelessness, family had to give up the majority of their belongings to move in temporarily in a friends small bedroom. Client is finally able to provide a stable living situation for her and children and is need of furniture: dressers, mattress, dining table and chairs, sofa or living room seating, basic kitchen supplies and cookware. Access to these items will not only improve the family's comfort and well-being but will also support their continued success in maintaining stable housing. Furniture can play a critical role in restoring a sense of normalcy, security, and dignity for individuals rebuilding after homelessness or housing insecurity. On behalf of this client and Shields for Families we thank you in advance for your consideration in meeting the needs of this family. Arlene Andrade, Case Manager Shields for Families.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I have a family who is struggling financially and are unable to get a crib for the 5 months old boy. The parents are dealing with unexpected expenses related to a very expensive surgery that the 5 years old needs to have as soon as possible due to a medical diagnosis. The parents are hopeful to be able to overcome the current struggles they are facing financially to be able to continue providing safe environment for the children to thrive. Currently the parents are co-sleeping with the 5-month-old, and are in need of a crib, mattress, and sheets so that the baby can sleep independently. The parents are not able to afford purchasing a crib at this time. Providing these basic necessities would diminish the emotional stressors on the family. By fulfilling this request, it would help the Department reduce the family's financial burden and help prevent court involvement and ensure family stability.

We have a family that is struggling financially and are unable to get a crib, mattress and sheets, for the one-year-old child. The mother is currently unemployed to be able to care for her six children. The only sole provider in the home is the father, and he work as a laborer. However, he has not been able to work much lately due to all the immigration enforcement currently going on in the city. The mother and father are also financially supporting the mother’s 16 years old daughter who has a 7-month-old baby of her own that also resides in the home. Currently, the mother and father are co-sleeping with the one-year-old child. The family is in need of a crib for the one-year-old to sleep independently. Providing these basic necessities would diminish the emotional stressors on the family.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

The Department is removing an infant from the hospital and trying to place the baby with relatives. The baby is a preemie and is under 5lbs. The relatives were not prepared to have a baby in their home and will not be receiving any funding for the child for at least a month. In order to place the baby, the family is in need of a car seat, crib with mattress, and bedding. In order to help the family care for the infant properly, we are asking for a car seat with stroller and base travel system, crib with mattress, bedding, 3 packs of preemie/newborn diapers and wipes, and about 10 preemie/newborn outfits for a boy.
