Together, Let it Be Us and the Children’s Home help kids and families who need it most. Every child deserves an opportunity to succeed, despite the insurmountable barriers that have been placed in their way. The Children’s Home’s vision is to change the lives of the kids who will change the world. The services provided don’t just impact the individual child; they create positive ripple effects within their immediate family, neighborhood, community, and world by providing the opportunity to thrive.

Traditional foster care provides a safe, temporary home for children and youth who have been removed from their families due to abuse, neglect, or other safety concerns. Foster parents offer stability, care, and support while the child’s long-term plan—such as reunification, guardianship, or adoption—is determined.

• Peoria County
