As the heat of summer wears on, we’re excited to introduce the Hydro Heroes program at Little City! We all know the importance of drinking water for our health, and we need to encourage the individuals in our care to hydrate! We already have hydration protocols in place but wanted to bring some fun to the effort with educational posters, water dispensers, stickers, lanyards, T-shirts, and, of course, WATER BOTTLES!

It was an honor and a privilege to apply for a vacant Board of Education seat for Huntley School District 158. Although, my nomination ended in a tie vote, & I wasn’t confirmed, the process was respectful & invigorating. Best of luck to the newly appointed candidate!

When an incredible team and volunteers come together to create a prom experience for our students, magical moments happen!

[Little City Foundation @LittleCity_Org]

Last week our students enjoyed LC Prom 2023! 🪩 Our DSPs, teachers, and staff pour their hearts into everything they do, creating a better world for our community every day, and we appreciate you all! Thank you to Perdoceo Education Co. for your volunteers who made this possible.

Dignity in Pay Act - HB0793, aids in the transition to end sub-minimum wage for people with disabilities. 36 IL Reps sponsored this bill - and it didn’t pass! Help us fight for the rights of the disabled community by sharing this tweet. Join us in building a better world for all!

[Little City Foundation @LittleCity_Org]

We are headed toward a children’s home crisis. We stand with the $4 per hour wage increase for DSPs, unfortunately, children’s home DSP’s were left out of the budget! $3.4M of a State Budget totaling over $180 billion will eliminate a crisis for our children.

Thx @HBODocs #FosterDoc 4 initiating awareness of trauma, inequality, & other social challenges inherently embedded in the lives of kids & families impacted. Just adding the workforce crisis is real, fewer social workers choosing this essential work due to high stress & low pay.

"To really be a true advocate, you need to know where the other side is coming from."

@IamJessChandler talks openly about what it's like being a social worker in the foster care system. See her story and many others in #FosterDoc, premiering tomorrow night at 8PM on @HBO.

@JenSincero Thanks for the refresher in keeping life simple by using plain speak. I was weary at first that your book would be another “just dream big,” however I’m glad you kept it real by adding that dreaming big also requires action. A lot of action...
