Request: #232902 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Chicago • State: Illinois • Zip Code: 60639 • County: Cook • Submitted By: Vaughn Occupational High School

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

This request is for a family at our school. The student has a significant disability- nonverbal autism. He is raised by a single mom who lost her job in January. She is having difficulty finding more work because her hours are limited (she needs to be home to take care of her son when he is home. Due to his disability he cannot be left alone). In addition, she has recurrent card trouble (with costly repairs) so she doesn't have reliable transportation to the suburbs where she was previously working.

Because she has been out of work, she has really struggled to keep up with bills. Her electricity is at risk of being turned off at any time. She has a costly bill, and no way to pay it to keep her electricity on.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

I am writing on behalf of my client, who is seeking financial assistance to enroll her two children in a local summer program. The program, Hope Homes Adventure Camps, provides a safe, structured, and enriching environment during the summer months—an invaluable support while the parent works diligently to maintain stability for the family. The total cost of the program is $99 per week per child, totaling $198 per week for both children. Due to current financial constraints, the family is unable to cover the full cost and would greatly appreciate any assistance your organization may be able to provide. Thank you for your time and consideration in supporting this family’s efforts to provide a safe and positive summer experience for their children. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or for further information. Warm regards

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We have an EMA mom ready to graduate and while we are helping her with some bills for her graduation gift, she mentioned that she could really use a stroller to make it easier to get around. She just had her third little one and while any stroller would be a blessing! If there was one that had a little seat for a second child... that would be nice. This item does not need to be new.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I’m reaching out today to ask for help for a strong, resilient, loving mother of a 15-year-old boy, a 2-year-old little boy, and a precious 7-month-old baby girl. For the last four years, this family lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Kerman, dealing with heartbreaking conditions. The apartment was infested with roaches and had black mold growing in the walls — an unsafe, unhealthy place for anyone, let alone for children. Despite paying high rent to a neglectful landlord who refused to make things right, they had no choice but to stay because it was all they could afford.

Recently, this Mom was finally able to relocate her family to a new apartment in Sanger. But with the move came another hard decision — she had to throw away nearly everything they owned because it was too infested and damaged to take with them. They left behind beds, furniture, kitchenware, and even the baby’s belongings. Now, this family is starting over with almost nothing, and we’re hoping to rally our community to help them rebuild their home and give these children the safe, clean, and loving space they deserve.
