Futures Worth Fighting For | Children's Home Association of Illinois

We believe every child and family in our community deserves an opportunity to succeed, despite the insurmountable barriers they face.

Together, we can create a future where every child and family receives resources, care, and support so they can thrive.

Meet Shephrah

Shephrah, a gifted artist, singer, and writer, radiates passion and creativity. Yet, when feelings of despair clouded her path, she grappled with finding happiness and safety within herself. Climbing out alone felt nearly impossible.

Through our Behavioral Health Services, she found the emotional and mental health support she needed to reclaim confidence and express herself freely. Now, she looks forward to a future that’s brighter than ever.
