Planned Parenthood of Illinois’ Post

Excerpts from Danielle Turpin's presentation during the Virtual Fundraising Event organized by CCA. Here are some highlights: 🔺 We are currently in a crisis when it's comes to Home care, people are seeking alternatives and there are not a lot alternatives for them. 🔺 The people who are most affected by the current system of care have no voice- the Care receivers (Clients) and the Workers (Those providing the care) 🔺 PSWs are the largest demographic in the healthcare sector, yet they have the smallest voice. 🔺 The cooperative model is about bringing voice not only to the care-workers but also to the care-receivers.

This journey, with its ups and downs, is not just a personal trial; it's a universal one. Yet, not everyone dares to take the first step. The thrill of victory, the sense of achievement? It's reserved for the brave souls like you, who decide to take on this extraordinary challenge. So, are you ready to transform the impossible into the possible?

I’ve witnessed hunger. I’ve helped children sneak bags of food home in their backpacks for the weekend because it was a possibility they would go days without being fed. I’ve worried with other teachers about children going hungry during the weekends and on school breaks. I’ve watched children cry because they didn’t want to go home knowing they didn’t know when they would eat next. Children should never have to worry about food shortage and I believe it is our responsibility to do everything in our power to help. Though many of us may not realize the grave disparities that exist in our own communities, people face hunger in every county and congressional district in Indiana and beyond. They could be our neighbors, kids in our children's classes – the possibilities go on. In Indiana, 950,220 people are facing hunger - and of them 285,070 are children. 1 in 7 people in Indiana faces hunger 1 in 5 children in Bartholomew County faces hunger 42% of children in Bartholomew County qualify for free or reduced lunch… 50% of Flat-Rock Hawcreek quality 52% of Jackson County qualify 66% of Jennings County qualify “As pandemic programs ended and prices for household expenses (including food) rose, food insecurity levels have also risen,” according to Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap 2024 report. “…Food insecurity is a symptom of historical and structural oppression, not individual weakness. It does not exist in a vacuum: people who face challenges accessing enough food also face challenges affording adequate housing, healthcare, transportation and other basic needs.” #hungeractionmonth

As a funder you want to be certain of where your funds go, we get that. So do we! Every time. At I61 Foundation we recognize that strong governance is essential for nonprofits to operate effectively, maintain donor trust and ensure that resources are used efficiently. We made sure of this again recently when funding school materials for our partner NGO, Bonheur Associé Aux Enfants. By insisting that each of the 65 children acknowledged the receipt of their supplies, and each parent signed an agreement committing to their child’s schooling, ownership and responsibility were met at each level. Commitment to accountability. Championing transparency. Impact-driven action. This is how we operate at I61 Foundation. #I61Foundation #RestoreRenewRebuild

Many healthcare workers are feeling the burnout, not just because of short staffing, but for the lack of support from their respective administrations. Nowadays, healthcare is becoming more of a business than an institution destined to provide safe care for the sick. Overworked staff, no work-life balance support, and resources resources continue to nurse those who serve the sick. These are some of the reasons healthcare workers are disheartened and leaving the profession, seeking better options. What can we do, as the healthcare industry, to fix this problem?
