Story
Single mother currently has an open DCFS case related to domestic violence. At this time, the mother has her child in her care and is actively participating in all required case plan services. She is currently unemployed and is in urgent need of assistance with transportation. Specifically, she requires a gas card to help her transport her child to court-mandated visits with the father. Due to the child’s autism diagnosis, public transportation is not a viable option for these visits. Providing her with a gas card would greatly ease her stress, support her compliance with the case plan, and allow her to better focus on both her services and reassuring her child during these challenging times.
