Story

•
5 Children 1 Adult

There is a great grandmother in need of a twin bed and a toddler bed, mattresses, and bedding. Since 2013, Great grandma has been taking in her great grandchildren. Three have since been adopted by her; female age 12, female age 8, and male age 7. Recently, two younger siblings (males ages 4 and 1.5) have been placed in her care and to move forward with level I licensing, every child needs to have their own bed as per code. The immediate need is a twin bed. The four-year-old is rather tall for his age and needs a twin bed. He currently is sleeping in his great grandmother's bed with her or sharing with a sibling. The 1-year-old (17 month) is in his crib still and will transition into a toddler bed soon, as he is also growing fast. Due to legal circumstances, there is no caregiver funding yet available to the family for the two youngest children. Once the beds are in place, they can get licensed and funding will start, but that is not expected to happen until late July with the first payment received by the caregiver in mid-August.

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 Wellbeing

Hello. I am requesting assistance for a single unemployed mother of two. The client has two children aged 5 years old and one week old. The five year(boy) is in need of a bed (twin size) and a chest of drawers. He is currently sleeping in the same bed as the client. The infant has a pack and play to sleep in. The child's room size is on the smaller end so a chest of drawers, not a dresser would be ideal. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

We are working with a lady that obtain her twin nieces from JFS in order to prevent them from going into the foster care system. She is young (in her early 20's) and not married. She is trying to manage these twins on her own and doing an amazing job. She is actually in the process of taking foster care classes in order to receive compensation to help her with the twins. The twins have been placed with her since they were new borns for the past several months and as they grow she is in desperate need of additional items. Some of these items are a necessity in order to be approved as a foster parent. She does work and has to pay for child care which limits her funds.

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.

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!
