The caregiver/maternal aunt recently obtained legal guardianship of the children after the tragic loss of their mother, following a murder-suicide committed by the younger child's father. The caregiver has expressed that the children are in need of clothing and shoes, as well as bunkbed in order for the children to have their own space in her home.

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.

This family of four includes mom and 3 children (14, 9, 5). Family came to the attention of DCFS due to physical/emotional abuse from father. Mother has relocated herself and the children away from father. As a result, mother is experiencing financial hardship without father's assistance. Family lives in a 2 bedroom/1 bathroom home and they are in need of a sofa bed that seats three people. A sofa bed will provide a more comfortable living and sleeping space for the entire family, thereby increasing the safety and general well-being of the children and reducing stress and anxiety for mother allowing her to focus more on her family and reallocate her already limited resources to other needs for her children.

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.
