Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

High Urgency Request
Youth came to the attention of DCFS when his legal guardian/adult sister requested that her legal guardianship order be terminated and guardianship be transferred to the youth's adult brother in Arizona due to ongoing conflict with his adult sister and her family. DCFS submitted a request for Arizona to approve the brother's home ASAP to prevent having to replace him into a group home. His legal guardian is very overwhelmed, as she has five children of her own and a newborn baby. A family team meeting was recently held and the family was informed that Arizona is still working on the out state placement approval and will not be approved until later this summer. Since youth and his legal guardian are constantly arguing, it was suggested to keep youth busy out of the home with summer school and extra curricular activities. The youth identified boxing as an activity he wished to participate in as well as apply for work internship program. DCFS will be referring the youth to a summer youth program for when he completes his summer school. Sadly, all DCFS funding has depleted for this fiscal year and his legal guardian is on a fixed income and cannot afford to pay for the boxing program that the youth found near his placement home. Youth appears to be depressed and needs a positive outlet. He is a very smart adolescent and with his involvement in boxing, he could channel his mind and energy in a positive direction while he waits for his brother's home to get approved.
