Dear Friend of Hephzibah,

Residence
Almost daily during the fiscal year, we heard unsettling reports
about violence — in our streets, in our schools and in our homes. While politicians
and pundits debated over gun control in the wake of the Colorado and Connecticut
shootings, gun and gang violence in Chicago continued unabated, prompting city
leaders to convene an emergency summit on urban violence in July 2013.
As I reflected on the violence at our doorstep and across the nation, my
thoughts turned to Hephzibah and our efforts to keep young people safe in a
dangerous world.
In FY13 — with the help of friends like you who care deeply about the welfare of
Illinois children and families — we protected young people in many ways.
We provided a safe haven for 49 neglected and abused children at our
internationally recognized Diagnostic Treatment Center and therapeutic Residence.
Because Hephzibah operates one of the only diagnostic centers in the state equipped
to rehabilitate severely traumatized children, nearly half of the children we served were
admitted directly from pediatric psychiatric hospitals. Almost all were suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and other disorders.
As we put the therapeutic supports in place to help these children heal, we
surrounded them with love, optimism, laughter, high
expectations and abundant opportunities for growth
and enrichment — from art, music and pet therapy
programs to our Second Annual Healthy Living Program
in collaboration with West Suburban Hospital.

contributions
While we met the children’s day-to-day
needs, we were also thinking about their futures.
To address the academic gaps caused by the many disruptions in their lives, we
continued our After-School Academy powered by an all-volunteer force of Homework
Helpers and partnered with Dominican University for our 14th annual Summer
Reading Academy. In early June 2013, we piloted One Book, One Hephzibah — a
12-week summer program designed to take the solitary struggle out of reading and
make it fun by engaging the children in group activities and field trips related to each
week’s featured book.
We also ushered our young charges into the digital age. When it became
evident that the children in our group homes were lagging behind their tech-savvy
peers, a group of generous donors and technology professionals stepped forward
to create a new Technology Room at Hephzibah — complete with its own server,
computers and iPads.
Because keeping children safe also means keeping them off the streets, we
offered safe, enriching and affordable after-school day care and a full-day summer
camp for the school-age children of working parents in the Oak Park community.
We also partnered with the Community and Economic Development Association
of Cook County (CEDA) for the second year to provide Head Start programming,
which was offered free of charge to promote the social and cognitive development of
preschoolers from low-income families. In FY13, we added an afternoon session to
whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
the program — and received glowing reviews from CEDA and our Head Start parents.
Behind the scenes, our staff was preparing for a rigorous review by the Council
on Accreditation for Children and Family Services. We passed the review with flying
colors, earning a commendation from the Council for our innovative programming, our
consistently successful outcomes and our knowledgeable staff.
As we helped children thrive and families flourish, our three auxiliary boards
continued to raise awareness of our mission while raising more than $330,000 to
support our programming through events such as the Oak Park Auxiliary’s 2013 Heart
of Gold Gala, the Western Auxiliary’s Hoof it for Hephzibah Memorial Day 2013 5K Fun
Run/Walk and the Chicago Auxiliary’s 5th annual Dodgeball Tournament.
As the need for our services continued to grow, Hephzibah grew as well. We
created a new marketing and communications position, hired a special events manager
and welcomed Shaun Lane to Hephzibah to fill our newly created chief operating officer
position. Lane, who most recently served as deputy director of the Illinois Department of
Children and Family Services, also teaches graduate courses in social welfare policy and
management at the University of Chicago School of Social Services. The creation of this
new COO position will enable me to spend more time developing a strategic vision for
Hephzibah’s future, cultivating new donors and continuing my work as an Illinois State
Child Welfare System consulting expert.
I hope you will take a few moments to browse through the following pages to find
out more about the year’s highlights — and the many ways that our benefactors, boards,
staff, corporate and community partners and volunteers kept children safe, engaged and
enriched throughout the year.
Thank you for your steadfast support!

Bringing Brothers
and Sisters Together
S
ibling bonds are among life’s most enduring connections — outlasting our
relationships with our parents and sometimes even our marriages. Our relationships with our
brothers and sisters are inextricably intertwined with our sense of identity and belonging.
Yet 75 percent of all foster children are separated from their siblings because most foster families
don’t have the room or the resources to care for sibling groups. It is often the last,
and most devastating, loss for children who have already been separated from their
parents, their home, their school and their community.
To help mend these broken sibling bonds, Hephzibah founded Camp
HepSIBah in 2003. Every summer since then, brothers and sisters living in different Number of
foster homes have reunited at this rustic woodland camp in northern Illinois to
siblings reunited at
create shared childhood memories that will last a lifetime.
Hephzibah’s Summer
In Summer 2012, 63 campers in 17 sibling groups enjoyed a week of
2012 Sibling Camp
camp experiences such as canoeing, archery, rock climbing, gathering around the
campfire for songs and s’mores and cookouts manned by corporate volunteers
from McDonald’s.
But often it was the unstructured time that had the most meaning. Each day, the children were able
to experience shared moments that most siblings take for granted, such as waking up and having breakfast
together, sharing their thoughts and feelings while walking in the woods and ending the day with whispered
conversations and stifled laughter when the lights went out at bedtime.
We are grateful to the Lerner Family Foundation for making it possible for these separated siblings
to reconnect and form deep emotional bonds that will support and sustain them throughout their lives.

good education is the foundation for a successful and
fulfilling life. Yet many children in substitute care lag far behind
their peers academically.
By the 10th or 11th grade, the average foster child is reading at
a seventh-grade level. Because reading fluency is strongly correlated with
scholastic achievement, deficits in this area can seriously compromise a
child’s academic performance. Of all of the problems that plague foster
children, poor academic performance may have the most crippling effect
on their long-term success and well-being.
To help close this achievement gap and foster a love of reading in
the children living in our group and foster homes, Hephzibah launched
One Book, One Hephzibah at the end of the fiscal year. The summerlong reading program combined weekly book selections with themed
weekly activities, recreational outings and special guest presentations.
Even the children in our Day Care program joined in, reading along with
the Day Care staff and participating in related activities and field trips.
Week One kicked off on June 3 with the children’s book, B is for
Buckaroo: A Cowboy Alphabet, a visit from a real singing cowboy and a
field trip to a horse farm. Judging from the enthusiastic participation of
the children, reading was no longer a solitary struggle, but a lot of fun!

Hephzibah’s award-winning
Day Care program in FY13
n his cover story for the April 29, 2013, issue of The New Republic, “The
Hell of American Day Care,” journalist Jonathan Cohn touches on a topic
that haunts many working parents.
“Trusting your child with someone else is one of the hardest things a
parent has to do,” he writes, “and in the U.S., it’s harder still, because American
day care is a mess.”
Cohn goes on to decry a day care system that is “barely regulated,
sometimes unsafe and difficult for many working parents to afford.”
While he reports that there is a small percentage of day care that
is “really, really bad, as in actually hazardous to children’s health,” he also
acknowledges that there is a “small percentage of day care that is very good.”
These high-quality day care programs can be a real boon for children’s
growth and development. Data analyzed by the Children’s Defense Fund shows
that school-age children attending quality day care programs “are significantly
more likely to succeed in school, have better work habits and relationships with
peers and are better adjusted and less antisocial
than children who spend their out-of-school hours
alone, with their mothers or informally supervised
by other adults.”
The Defense Fund’s conclusion that
“good school-age care can have a major
positive impact on children’s development,
safety and school achievement” comes as no
surprise to Hephzibah’s Day Care parents,
who have experienced the many benefits of our
internationally recognized Day Care program
firsthand.
In FY13, Hephzibah’s Day Care program
provided after-school day care for 545 children
at eight Oak Park elementary schools during the
academic year and a nine-week day camp during
the summer months. Fees for the program were
assessed on a sliding scale and offset by financial
aid when necessary to ensure that children from
low-income families had the same opportunities for growth and enrichment as
their peers.
What made the program truly distinctive, however, was the comprehensive
array of wraparound social services offered to Day Care families, from parent
education classes and support groups facilitated by a full-time social worker to
referrals for assistance with housing, food and clothing to direct assistance with
respite services, bus passes, gas money, transportation, grocery store gift certificates,
furniture, clothing, sports equipment, school supplies and other family needs.
Given the current day care crisis in America, Hephzibah Day Care parents
know they’ve got a good thing going.
“I sent my daughter to Hephzibah Day Care many years ago, when I was a
working mom,” says a Hephzibah grandmother, who recently attended a Day Care
graduation ceremony for her sixth-grade grandchild. “It was such a nurturing and
enriching environment. I never had a moment’s worry about my daughter’s wellbeing.
I felt like I’d transferred her from my womb to Hephzibah’s womb.”

ast year, more than 26,000 children were abused or
neglected in the State of Illinois. Half of these children were
age five or under. Without expert intervention, the physical,
psychological and social-emotional damage from this abuse
and neglect can last a lifetime.
This is where Hephzibah steps in. Each year, many of the
worst cases of child abuse and neglect in the State of Illinois are
referred to Hephzibah Children’s Association.
Why Hephzibah? Because our therapeutic programs to
rehabilitate severely traumatized children are internationally
recognized for their successful outcomes.
But helping these children heal requires a tremendous
investment of financial and therapeutic resources. It would not be
possible without the involvement of compassionate community
partners like the Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club.
Every two years, this philanthropic community organization
selects a new cause to support through fundraising efforts and
hands-on service projects. In Spring 2012, we were notified that this
committed group of nearly 200 women had selected Hephzibah as
its next philanthropic beneficiary.
In FY13, the Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club enriched the
lives of the children in our group homes beyond measure with
a major gift of $150,000 to support educational enrichment
programs and a wide variety of hands-on service projects, including
group outings to Lifetime Fitness and the circus, a back-to-school
pizza party, health-related activities, holiday crafts and a build-yourown teddy bear party on Valentine’s Day. They even set up a mock
restaurant to give the children an opportunity to practice their
“restaurant manners,” cooked and served a Thanksgiving Dinner
at Hephzibah Home and organized a festive New Year’s Eve
celebration to help the children ring in the new year with laughter
and joy.
“The Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club has brightened the
lives of our children and given them family life experiences that
will follow them everywhere,” reports Executive Director Mary
Anne Brown. “We are so grateful for their generous support,
their unwavering commitment to our mission and all of their
wonderfully organized activities.”
In May 2013, the
Hinsdale Junior
Woman’s Club presented

Opening Doors
to the Digital World
W
e live in a wired world. The way we learn, work,
create, communicate, shop, socialize and even bank has
been transformed by computer technologies.
Yet prior to Summer 2012, the children in Hephzibah’s group
homes had limited access to the technological tools of our digital
age. Education Coordinator Paula Andries noticed that the children
were not developing technological skills at the same rate as their
peers. They were showing signs of what social scientists call “digital
exclusion,” a term coined to describe populations with limited access
to the digital technologies that have become an integral part of 21st
century life.
In FY12 and FY13, some generous donors and visionary volunteers stepped forward to change that. The Sweet Water Foundation
and the Terri Race Educational Technology Fund provided funding
for iPads. Volunteers Brian Druley and Sue Stark formed a Children’s
Technology Committee and pooled their IT expertise to convert
Hephzibah’s former library into a Technology Room.
Druley, the director of administration and information
technology for the Health Service at Northwestern University,
coordinated a donation of computers and a server from his own
department and Northwestern’s Student Affairs Information
Technology department. Stark, an institutional technology coordinator
at Robert Morris University, arranged for another donation of
computers from her employer.
By June 2013, the technology room was up and running.
Druley and Stark and their growing team of Technology Mentors
continue to volunteer every Saturday to teach technology to the kids,
whose tech skills have really taken off.
Thanks to these committed benefactors and volunteers,
the children at Hephzibah Home are now tech-savvy citizens of the
digital age.
nyone who dismisses American teens as
hopelessly self-absorbed hasn’t met the Hephzibah
Huskies. These altruistic Oak Park River Forest
High School students have spent countless hours
serving as mentors, role models and friends for the traumatized children living in Hephzibah’s group homes.
The group, which was spearheaded by students Jake
Johnson and Luke Trinka in 2010, became an officially sanctioned high school service club in August 2012. Although
Jake and Luke have since graduated, Luke’s younger sister,
Tess Trinka, is carrying on the cofounders’ mission as club
president.
Despite heavy homework loads, college searches
and other high school commitments during the 2012-2013
academic year, these big-hearted teens met every other
Monday to organize fundraising events and activities for
the children.
The Huskies also volunteered at Hephzibah’s group
homes and day care sites, took the children to high school
events, participated in game and movie nights and held their
signature event, the Hephzibah Rodeo. This joyous June
celebration, complete with pony rides and a petting zoo, is
held annually to reward the children in our group homes

annually to individuals or groups that have made outstanding
contributions in support of Hephzibah’s mission.
“We are tremendously grateful to the Huskies for their

our organization — and the children in our group homes just
