acts of kindness. In December, our first-ever challenge grant donors offered to match every donation to our Hephzibah Holiday Challenge dollar for dollar up to $15,000. Their extraordinary generosity inspired nearly 300 other people to give, generating more than $126,000 and, in the process, changing many lives for the better. After we launched our new Planned Gift Programs in January, Hephzibah board member Francesca DeBiase and her husband, Jassem el Mahmoud, marked the occasion with a generous bequest to the Hephzibah Children’s Trust. These acts of kindness, big and small, had a ripple effect. After witnessing the altruistic endeavors of a caring community, a young artist in our Residence held an art show to benefit the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry. When this young survivor of abuse learned that the proceeds from the sale of his paintings would feed 10 families, his jaw dropped—and he has already started to create a new body of work for his next art benefit.

When Hephzibah Executive Director Mary Anne Brown asked the children why Bryan and Amanda had chosen them to learn about and work with rescued dogs, one little boy responded, “Because bad things have happened to us too.” “The kids really relate to these dogs,” says Amanda Bickell. “When they learn that the dogs live with families now and they’re able to love and be happy again, it gives the children hope that they can have a brighter future too.”

he year was 1982—and it was shaping up to be the worst year ever for Peter, John, Marita and Anne Marie, whose single adoptive mom had just died. Hephzibah was still setting up its Foster Care Program, with a foster care license in hand and foster families lined up, but no state contract. No contract meant no funding for the children’s care, but that Tdidn’t deter Hephzibah’s first foster families, who took the orphaned siblings in without pay. The children were in good hands, but they were also in separate emergency foster homes. They missed their mom and they missed each other. When night fell, they lay alone in unfamiliar beds, wondering if they’d ever see one another again. Hephzibah Executive Director Mary Anne Brown was also lying awake at night worrying about the sibling group. Would she have to split them up permanently to facilitate their adoptions? She had to find a better way. Hephzibah HEAD START Brown mentioned the children’s plight to Oak Parkers D ennis and Bunny Murphy, who had already adopted three children. Without hesitation, the Paving the Way for a Murphys responded, “We’ll take them all,” and Hephzibah’s first forever family was born.

Each year, scores of preschoolers are nurtured and enriched by our Head Start curriculum as they engage in activities that foster their growth and development in areas such as language, literacy, math, science, creative arts, physical skills, learning skills and social and emotional functioning. The program has drawn rave reviews from Head Start parents—and accolades from the State of Illinois. In FY15, Hephzibah earned the Gold Circle of Quality Designation—the highest of four ratings available through the state’s The foursome, new quality rating system for early learning and development providers. 33 years later, in 2015
