Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted aunt has courageously taken custody of her niece and nephew, both of whom are navigating emotional and behavioral challenges due to past trauma. In addition to caring for them, she is also raising her two biological children in the home, working tirelessly to create a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for all four children.

Recently, the family has experienced property damage as a result of behavioral outbursts, and they are now in urgent need of three interior bedroom doors. The damaged doors have left the children without privacy and have added stress to the household. Replacing these doors would help restore a sense of structure, security, and dignity for the children and the caregiver.

The estimated cost for the three doors is $195 at home depot, which the aunt is currently unable to afford due to limited income and the ongoing demands of raising four children. She is doing everything within her power to meet their needs and support their emotional well-being.

Any assistance, whether through financial support, donated doors, or help with installation would make a significant impact on this family's daily life. Thank you for considering this request and for helping provide stability and comfort to a family working hard to overcome challenges together.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Cornerstones of Care is working with a single mom who is trying to move into a new apartment with her 1-year-old son. The apartment is in need of being deep cleaned. The apartment is supposed to be nonsmoking but it smells really bad. Mom has a few different medical diagnosis and is unable to deep clean the apartment herself. She is needing to move into the apartment within the next week. We have contacted Servpro to do the deep cleaning but she is unable to afford the cost of it. Once she is able to move into the apartment her son will be able to live with her full time and be able to officially reunify.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

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.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A singe mother of 2 with the 7 year old who has epilepsy and requires specialized treatment. During the last two months the younger child required multiple doctors visits and specialty visits to Stanford Children's Neurosurgery Center. This has put a major financial strain and hardship on the mother. With additional unforeseen costs of travel, medical bills, prescription costs, and lost time from work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated to help this family with this urgent need as they are facing eviction. We would like to help reduce any additional stress that would trigger any seizures episodes from occurring from having to move. Your help will keep this young family from becoming unhoused. Thank you in advance for any help you can be!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A courageous mother of three is preparing to move into a home she will one day own through a rent-to-own opportunity, a dream she’s worked hard to make a reality. Over the past few years, we've had the honor of walking alongside her and witnessing powerful moments of growth. She is nearing one year of sobriety, has bravely left a domestic violence situation, and has fought to get the support her children need to thrive. Now, she’s taking the next step toward stability - securing a home where she can plant roots and truly take ownership! However, the home needs a lot of work. Demolition, paint, cabinets, flooring, and more. It’s not move-in ready, and we can’t do this alone. We need the community’s help to turn this space into a safe, welcoming home for her and her children. This is more than just a renovation. It’s a chance to invest in someone who is becoming a leader in her community - someone committed to walking with and supporting other families on their journeys. Let’s come together and help build a strong foundation for this incredible mom and her kids. With your help, we can turn this house into a place of healing, hope, and long-term flourishing!
