Author, The Art of Living
Dear Friend of Hephzibah,
THIRTY-THREE YEARS AGO, OUR FIRST FOSTER FAMILY WAS
FORGED THROUGH A SINGULAR ACT OF KINDNESS.
A local mom had died, leaving behind four grieving adopted
children. After the orphaned youngsters had been safely settled in four
different emergency foster homes, we began to search for permanent
placements.
During our search, we shared the children’s story with Oak Parkers
Dennis and Bunny Murphy, who had already adopted three children
through another agency.
Although Peter, John, Marita and Anne Marie were not related by
blood, the Murphys felt that the siblings should be placed in the same
home since they’d been living together before the death of their mom.
When we worried out loud that it would be difficult to find a family to
raise all four children, Dennis said quietly, “We will do it.”
That simple declaration changed the lives of four very vulnerable
youngsters —youngsters who thrived in the Murphys’ care and
eventually matured into four productive, positive and utterly charming
adults. Peter is now a child care worker helping other children in need at
Hephzibah Home, and the children adore him. John is a firefighter and a
family man. Marita is a happily married mother of two, while Anne Marie
is a college student and a Hephzibah Day Care mom. You’ll learn more
about their journey on page five of this report.
The story of the Murphy family
seems like a fitting place to begin as we
reflect on the many acts of kindness that
have helped Hephzibah’s children and
families thrive in FY15.

kindness that brightened our fiscal year.
To help the children in our group
homes lead safer, healthier and happier lives, West Suburban Medical Center
conducted a Healthy Living Program at Hephzibah, with sessions devoted to
topics such as Your Body and Exercise and Healthy Eating.
In May, Loyola University’s Ronald McDonald Children’s Hospital
dispatched its pediatric mobile health care unit to Hephzibah Home. When
the 40-foot-long “children’s clinic on wheels” rolled into our driveway, the
children in our Foster Care Program clambered aboard for physical exams,
immunizations, health screenings, asthma checks and more.
During the growing season, our Alex Anderson Memorial Garden
continued to serve as a healing natural oasis for the traumatized children in
our care, thanks to the green thumbs and funds provided by the family of
Alex Anderson and family friend Patti Spangler.
Throughout the year, our committed and compassionate corps of
corporate and community partners continued to give unstintingly to enhance
the health, happiness and well-being of the children in our group homes,
foster homes and Day Care Program.
The Avis Budget Group volunteered at our annual Day Care pancake
breakfast fundraiser and treated the children in our group homes to a
private movie screening at the Lake Theater, while employees participating
in the CME Group Amicus Volunteer Program cruised Chicago’s waterways
with the children on a Wendella boat tour and accompanied them on other
recreational outings in the Chicago area.
On Giving Tuesday in December, Gene & Georgetti restaurant donated

McDonald’s Corporation signed on as a $20,000 sponsor for the
Heart of Gold Ball and sent a crew of employees to northern Illinois to
flip burgers at our annual sibling camp cookout.
Back in Oak Park, a gregarious group of employees from Philips
Lighting fired up the grills and cooked up platters of hot dogs and
hamburgers to fuel the cowgirls and cowboys at our annual Rodeo.
The Peninsula Chicago hotel donated more than $16,000 in
revenues from its rooftop ice skating rink, hosted a skating party for the
children in our group homes and dispatched a costumed employee in a
Mini Cooper decked out with bunny ears on Easter and a giant spider on
Halloween to pass out candy and toy bears at Hephzibah Home.
Because nothing soothes the spirit like the sound of music, the Oak
Park Arts Council sponsored a series of concerts for the children in our
Diagnostic Treatment Center. Meanwhile, our individual benefactors were engaging in their own
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.
In Summer 2015, a compassionate group of Hephzibah Day Care kids
formed a Hephzibah chapter of the GenerationOn Kids Club, a global
youth service movement that inspires young people to work together to
help others in their communities and around the world. The children sold
lemonade to raise money for Hephzibah and the Animal Care League;
carefully crafted crate blankets, toys and “Adopt Me” bandannas for the
homeless animals at the Animal Care League shelter; helped preschoolers
with special needs; and volunteered at a food pantry.
As times get tougher, these acts of kindness make a bigger difference
in the world. Thank you all for helping us build a better future for the
children we serve!

technology pros, Hephzibah’s
kids are going digital
M
ost post-millennial kids
are “digital natives” who have
grown up with computers,
digital music players, video games and
other tools and toys of the digital age.
But many of the survivors of
neglect and abuse at Hephzibah Home
have had little or no exposure to the
digital world—and lag far behind their
peers in technology skills.
With the help of a kind-hearted
cadre of volunteer Technology Mentors,
Hephzibah’s kids are finally crossing
that digital divide. Guided by their
very own “geek squad” of technology
professionals, they’ve learned
the basics of safe web browsing,
created PowerPoint presentations,
disassembled a computer to learn
about its components and even done
some rudimentary coding.
What’s next for our young techies
in training? Brian Druley and Sue Stark,
the visionary volunteer founders of
Hephzibah’s Technology Program, are
already hatching a plan to wow
the kids with a course
in robotics.

Abused Dogs Helping Abused Kids
O
ne of the most heartwarming stories of the year is the story of Paws for
Strength, a new pet therapy program made possible by a partnership between Hephzibah
and the Bryan and Amanda Bickell Foundation. Paws for Strength pairs rescued and
rehabilitated therapy dogs with the abused children in our group homes to create a healing
human-animal bond.
During the eight-week program, the children teach their canine companions tricks and then
demonstrate their dog’s new skills at a graduation ceremony.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Bryan Bickell and his wife, Amanda, visited Hephzibah in
December to read the children a story about an abused dog that was rescued and now lives
with a loving family.
“Hopefully that will be my story,” said one child after listening intently to every word.
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.”
ur Day Care kids got
an extra helping of fun in
Summer 2015 with the launch
of 25 new Super-Sized Playshops.
These beefed-up, two-week summer
camp workshops offered something
for everyone in our diverse camp
population, from knitting, puppetmaking and theater arts to adventures
in engineering and extreme sports.
Budding comics honed their stand-up
skills during an improv workshop, young
fashionistas sketched and stitched up
clothing designs at the Hephzibah House

hands-on kitchen sessions, while the
earnest souls in the Hephzibah chapter
of the GenerationOn Kids Club dreamed
up ways to make the world a better

foster care and adoption
The FAMILY That Hephzibah Built
T
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
didn’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.
Brown mentioned the children’s plight to Oak Parkers Dennis and Bunny
Murphy, who had already adopted three children. Without hesitation, the
Murphys responded, “We’ll take them all,” and Hephzibah’s first forever
family was born.
Thirty-three years later, it’s clear that the ties that bind the Murphys
are emotional, rather than genetic. But, says Anne Marie, the bonds are no
less enduring.
“We were brought together through a Hephzibah adoption,” she notes,
“and our bond is deeper than blood.”

S
tudies show that high-quality
learning
experiences during the first
five years of life can promote the
development of a robust network of
neural pathways that can enhance a child’s
ability to think, react, process and grow.
Yet the U.S. ranks 25th in the world
for early learning enrollment—and fewer
than 30 percent of all four-year-olds
nationwide are enrolled in quality early
learning programs.
To help address this unmet need,
Hephzibah’s Day Care Program now
offers Head Start services free of charge for qualifying
families in Oak Park and surrounding communities. 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
new quality rating system for early learning and development providers.

ur Chicago, Oak Park and Western auxiliary
board MEMBERS energized and inspired everyone at
Hephzibah in FY15 with their boundless enthusiasm as
they raised awareness of Hephzibah’s mission, hosted
fundraising events and organized activities for the
children living in our group and foster homes. Over the course of the
fiscal year, this dynamic force of 90 committed and compassionate
citizens raised a combined total of $390,000 to help make our
mission possible. We’ve highlighted just a few of their labors of

n 1935, Keith Elkins and his little
sister, Muriel, landed on Hephzibah’s
doorstep. Their parents, financially
depleted by the Great Depression and on
the verge of a breakup, had come to the
discouraging conclusion that they could no
longer provide for their children.
Keith doesn’t remember much about
that day, but he does remember his years
as a “Hephzibah kid.”
“My years at Hephzibah turned out to
be the happiest of my childhood,” he notes.
“Well into adulthood, I treasure the gift that
Hephzibah gave me—the gift of hope.”
Now Keith and his wife, Kathleen,
have returned that gift by naming
Hephzibah as the beneficiary of a bequest
in their will.
“I want to help ensure that Hephzibah
can provide as much security and
happiness for children now as it did for
me and my sister back in the 1930s,” says
the retired college professor, whose fond
memories also inspired him to write a
deeply personal account of Hephzibah’s
history and evolution from the 1930s to
the present.
We are deeply grateful to Keith and
Kathleen for their planned gift, which will
help other children find a safe haven at
Hephzibah Home in the years to come.

The Oak Park Auxiliary Board spent countless hours
promoting our 2015 Heart of Gold Ball, The Stars
Among Us, soliciting and packaging auction items
and creating the celestial setting for our biggest
fundraiser of the year. Their efforts helped us raise
just under $312,000 — an increase of $82,000 over
the previous year.
In November 2014, the Oak Park Auxiliary
hosted its fifth annual Fall Harvest Wine & Beer
Tasting at Paramount Events. Paramount owner
Jodi Fyfe, an Oak Park Auxiliary Board member and
Hephzibah Corporate Partner, donated the food
and enlisted vendors to provide wine and beer
samples for the event, which raised nearly $4,300 for
Hephzibah’s kids.
The Western Auxiliary Board chased away the
winter chill with its third annual Valentines Day fundraiser, Rock N Roll for the Heart and Soul. The event,

Their gifts of time and companionship have worked wonders for the traumatized children that we serve,
helping youngsters who are reluctant to love or trust develop healthy emotional bonds. We applaud these
high-school humanitarians for their selflessness and enduring commitment to children in need.
Getting back in the saddle of life: Through events such as the 2015 Rodeo, the Hephzibah Huskies have helped the traumatized

n Summer 2015, several Hephzibah children walked into a
world packed with new possibilities: a world free of adult judgments and
expectations where they could experience new sensations, make their own
decisions and explore their passions and potential. It was Steve & Kate’s
Camp, where kids can zero in on what truly makes them happy.
The camp, which offered activities ranging from ziplining to software
development to fully choreographed music videos, was a gift from Emmynominated chef and Food Network star Jeff
Mauro, who has been a Hephzibah fan ever
since his mom served on Hephzibah’s board in
the early 1990s. Mauro is one of three celebrity
chefs who assist with menu planning for Steve

featuring cuisines from Mexico, Asia, France
and other far-flung locales.
