Thanks to Melissa D'Agostino for courageously sharing her story of neglect and trauma as a 14 year orphan in the system of Department of Child and Family Services.
There is much reform to be done in Illinois and across the country to improve a badly broken system. Please reference the resources from Illinois Policy. Share Melissa's FB live and these articles with your networks.
This question on the ballot regarding Amendment 1 could have devastating consequences for the 21,000+ kids in the foster system. We support a NO vote to Amendment #but your vote is needed too.
We look forward to seeing Melissa further supported in her efforts to awaken others to the need for DCFS reform in Illinois and beyond. The children can't advocate for themselves--onward for them! #SaveTheChildren
