"The non-minor dependent (NMD) came to the attention of DCFS and the Court when she was in the 4th grade. She was removed from both parents due to their severe mental health challenges and homelessness. A church member later became her legal guardian and cared for her until she graduated from high school and enrolled in college.

Unfortunately, due to her own mental health struggles, she was unable to complete her first semester and withdrew from college. She temporarily returned to her former legal guardian’s home, where she has stayed for the past 10 months. However, the guardian’s family is now facing their own challenges and has asked her to move out by 6/30/25.

The former guardian helped her find a small, rented room near their workplace and continues to support her transition to independent living. Although the NMD is still struggling with mental health and independence, she is motivated and willing to work toward full self-sufficiency over the next year.

She is in need of a twin-size bed and other basic household items to settle into her new space. "

Urgent Request for Support – Non-Minor Dependent SB We are seeking immediate assistance for a young single mother whose case will close with DCFS on July 6, 2025, when she turns 21. A young mother of two children (ages 1 and 5) she is a resilient and devoted parent who has consistently prioritized her children’s needs, but she is currently facing a serious crisis. After a recent separation from the father of her youngest child, who is no longer providing meaningful financial support, she is now struggling to meet basic expenses. Despite these challenges, she recently completed her CNA certification and is actively applying for positions, though she has not yet secured employment. She can cover rent through the end of July but is at imminent risk of homelessness thereafter. She is at risk of having to vacate her apartment at the end of July and has no family support; her mother passed away five years ago, and she has no contact with her father. She will soon be navigating this situation entirely on her own.

Dear Careportal, I am writing to respectfully request assistance in securing three beds and a crib for a single mother who is currently involved in an open DCFS case. This mother is a survivor of domestic violence and has recently taken a major step toward rebuilding her life by moving into her own apartment. Her children are in the process of being returned to her care, and while she is deeply committed to creating a safe and stable home, she currently does not have the financial means to provide beds for her children. Obtaining these beds would not only relieve significant stress for the mother but also offer her children a sense of stability, security, and comfort during this critical time of transition. Your support would allow this family to begin healing together in a safe and supportive environment. It would also enable the mother to focus on her continued progress, including maintaining her home and meeting the needs of her children. Thank you for your consideration and any assistance you may be able to provide.
