2012 Annual Report | 3 A Reassuring Community

merican sociologist Lewis Mumford believed that “above all we need, particularly as children, the reassuring presence of a visible community, an intimate group that enfolds us with understanding and love.” In FY12, Hephzibah’s award-winning Day Care Program provided that A“reassuring community” for 659 children of working parents in Oak Park. This nationally recognized program offered nurturing, enriching after- school day care at eight Oak Park elementary schools during the academic year, a nine-week summer camp, sliding-scale fees for families of all income levels, a financial aid program for families that couldn’t afford the cost of day care and a comprehensive array of social and mental health services that ranged from parent support groups to direct assistance with food, transportation, sports equipment and more.

hat does it take to turn a child’s life around? Ask our foster parents and you’ll hear over and over again that it takes an enormous amount of patience, love and perseverance. They’ll tell you that foster parenting is a 24/7 commitment filled with challenges and opportunities. That it’s the hardest job they’ve ever taken on — and the most rewarding thing they’ve ever done. W As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of our nationally recognized Foster Care Program in FY12, we’d like to pay tribute to one of the most important relationships in a traumatized child’s life: the relationship with a loving foster family. Many of the neglected and abused children who arrive at Hephzibah Home transition to foster care after a period of stabilization and assessment in our Diagnostic Treatment Center or longer-term therapeutic care in our The Hephzibah Heroes baseball team Residence. When their journey through these group homes comes to an end, Hephzibah foster families are standing by to give them the love, stability and support they need to continue to heal from their emotional wounds. studies suggest that safe, stable, nurturing relationships like these can reorganize the internal emotional Sports Sundays templates of traumatized children and help them develop healthier responses to issues surrounding personal safety, emotional intimacy and attachment. But we don’t need studies to tell us about the positive impact that our foster or most kids, playing baseball is “as American as apple pie.” parents have on the most vulnerable children that Hephzibah serves. We see it every day! But many of the severely traumatized children living in Hephzibah’s this year, 70 Hephzibah foster families shared their homes and their love with 87 foster children. When it wasn’t group homes have “never even put on a mitt or thrown a baseball,” an option for some of these foster children to return home to their families of origin, their foster parents formed says Hephzibah Board Member Eric Sorensen. Four years ago, “forever families” with the children through Hephzibah adoptions.

Since that time, about 20 children from Hephzibah’s group homes have practiced every Sunday morning during the summer baseball season. While learning the fundamentals of the game, the children are also exposed 70 to important values such as good sportsmanship and fair play.

2012 Annual Report | 5 Hephzibah’s Amazing Auxiliaries A report about relationships wouldn’t be complete without a tribute to Hephzibah’s amazing auxiliary boards: our Oak Park Auxiliary, founded in 1995; our Western Auxiliary, founded in 2000; and our Chicago Auxiliary, founded in 2005.
