Maryville 2012 Annual Report Rebuilding Lives... Rekindling Spirits... Renewing Hope... Rekindling Spirits... Rebuilding Lives... SINCE A Message from Our Executive Director Dear Friend of Maryville, Are we there yet? Who has not heard this question from a child on a journey – often shortly after the family has begun a vacation trip and frequently repeated by the child before the destination is reached? Yet we can understand this sentiment in our own Maryville journey to ensure the safety and well-being of children. This Annual Report offers Maryville’s report on the journey that began in 1883. Sr. Catherine M. Ryan, O.S.F. Executive Director Are we there yet? Every family needs support in meeting the challenges of caring for its children. Maryville steps up when parents need a safe haven for infants and toddlers during an emergency (the Crisis Nursery); when parents need a temporary and compassionate health care home for medically fragile children (Children’s Healthcare Center); and when parents need safe activities that engage the youth and keep them from the dangers of the “streets” (CYO). As you will see in this report, for Elena (not her real name) and Dwyane, we have been there. Are we there yet? Every child deserves a safe, caring home when the juvenile court has determined that the family is unable to provide this home. Maryville is there with its Madden Center, providing temporary shelter for adolescent girls. Maryville is there with its Casa Cariño, Casa Imani, and Casa Salama homes for girls, and its St. George, St. Martin de Porres, and St. Vincent de Paul homes for boys. As you will see in this report, for Sharmaine and Aurelius (not their real names), we have been there. Are we there yet? Every child deserves a safe and healing intervention when he or she needs intensive intervention in a psychiatric hospital setting. Maryville is there with behavioral health care in its Scott Nolan Hospital. Although patient confidentiality does not permit us to share a story from the hospital, for adoles- cents who are acutely mentally ill, we are there. Are we there yet? Every child needs an education to help prepare for a produc- tive future, for a way to give back to others in need. Maryville is there with scholarships for CYO participants and Maryville graduates. As you will see in this report, for David, we have been there. Our Maryville staff and volunteers and donors have made this journey possible. Yet, we have miles to go. We need your help to continue. Are we there yet? With your support, another child will answer this question, as did Aurelius when he wrote about his experience at Maryville: “…I truly thought that I would not have a real place to call my home ‘Til this family entered my life You see that was the day things went from wrong to right.” Peace and all good. Sister Catherine Ryan, O.S.F. Executive Director 3 Dear Friend of Maryville, Toward the end of October, I stood before a group of Maryville supporters and spoke about how fortunate our children are to have people like Bert Getz in their lives. Minutes later, little Elena toddled out of the Children’s Healthcare Center (CHC) to enjoy the sanctuary/playground we had just dedicated, thanks to the generosity of Bert and the Globe Foundation that he heads. Elena (not her real name) has endured more medical challenges in her fewer Richard A. Devine Chair, Maryville than three years on this earth than most of us will see in a lifetime. And yet there Board of Directors she was, a smile spreading across her face as she stood in the just-opened play- ground enjoying the Indian Summer day. In many ways, what happened that day to Elena was a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do. Whether it is Elena at the CHC or Sharmaine (mentioned later in this report) at the Madden Center, the children of Maryville have been dealt serious challenges in their young lives. They need help and support from caring professionals, and that is what Maryville is all about. As a father of four and a grandfather of eight, it warms my heart each time I come in contact with these precious children and hear their stories from our staff. As State’s Attorney for twelve years, I knew at one level the violence and A Message from Our Chairman of the Board heartbreak that beset many of the children in our community. But reading about Dwyane Hemphill’s courageous battle to recover from a gunshot wound – and our staff’s role in helping him heal – personalized those struggles. For nearly 130 years now, Maryville has opened its arms to the children of our community, and cared for them when their families could not. Many of our children have grown up and grown old, yet still hold a special spot in their hearts for the place and the people who helped them in their time of need. So please join with me in 2013 to help continue the good and vital work that our staff does on a daily basis to bring stability and some joy into the lives of these needy children. With your help, the Elenas, Sharmaines and Dwyanes of the future will have the support they so desperately need. Sincerely, Richard A. Devine Chairman 4 Alumni Spotlight David Reveles As he approached the podium, David Reveles glanced down at his notes. All of the speakers who had preceded him were older, experienced at stepping up to a microphone and holding forth: George McCaskey, Chicago Bears Chairman; McCaskey’s brother, Pat, a fellow board member and author; Sister Catherine Ryan, Maryville executive director; Jeff Joniak, WBBM broadcaster; Brian Urlacher, a future Hall of Famer. But David, a Jen School graduate and current Elmhurst College student, spoke evenly, and in a strong voice, as he thanked Maryville and the McCaskey family for the scholarship that helped him so much. “I am forever grateful for each and every donation that has been made. You have allowed me to seize the very significant opportunity of attending college. My only hope is that I can model what I have been taught, and contribute when I am one day financiallyY stable,”V DavidI said, only glancing at his notes. R L He later said that he was not particularly nervous talking to the crowd, which numberedL close to 400. “It was something that came from my heart,”A he said of his remarks, “and that made me feel more comfortable.” E All of us at Maryville hope and pray for the Mbest for the children whose lives we are entrusted with and whom we nurture while they are in our care. We know they will leave us one day. After they do, we cannot help but wonder how they are doing. Many stay in touch; others go about their lives and lose touch. So we are truly gladdened when we can see a confident, accomplished young man such as David speak of his life and his future. After his speech, David spoke about his plans beyond college. S “I expect to get into an internship with a financial institution, then get my certification (as a Certified Financial Planner), work my way up,I build clientele, develop my own portfolio, maybe3 get into a hedge fund,” he said. NM 8 David makes us all proud and hopeful.
