Story
Good morning CarePortal Team,
I hope this message finds you well, I am a parent advocate currently supporting a single mother who has an open DCFS case.
This mother had successfully reunited with her daughter and was making positive progress. However, she underwent shoulder surgery in February 2025, and since then, she has struggled to maintain her household due to physical limitations and ongoing recovery.
Unfortunately, the condition of her home has recently come to DCFS's attention, and there is now a risk of her daughter being detained again. This situation has created significant stress for the mother, who is doing her best to care for her child while managing her health challenges.
We are reaching out in hopes of securing assistance with cleaning and organizing the home. This support would be a tremendous relief to the mother, help her regain stability, and allow her to focus on continuing her reunification journey.
Thank you for considering this request and for the work you do in supporting families in need.
Warm regards,
LADL Parent Partner
