Notes From Peoria Home Residents:
I have been here at Peoria Home since July 12, 2020 It was the most important decision of my life to come here. It meant that I would leave everything for the last 40 years behind, believe me when I say it was the best decision I have ever made. I never knew or have seen such kindness in my life. I have never felt any safer than I do right now. I am safe, loved, and understood. I have the chance to love myself and truly work on Me. I have a close connection with a Higher Power now that I believe in wholeheartedly. If it weren’t for Peoria Home excepting me into the program I would still be out there somewhere lost in a very dangerous world of prostitution and sex trafficking. I am learning there is more to life, thanks to Peoria Home. I absolutely love it here. I just want to say thank you Peoria Home for saving my life. – ES
Peoria Home is a safe, secure, stable, happy and loving environment in which we have the opportunities to grow. Exploring through recipes, art, group, and more, are paramount to our successes. We step out of our comfort zones and into a new comfort zone. I love the life here at Peoria Home. Thank you to all. – AS
My experience as a resident and a survivor from the life seems surreal to me still. Sometimes, I wake in the morning and pinch myself to see is this life real. I’ve been blessed and I am beyond grateful for this program. Not only do I get a new perspective but they have loved on me until I’ve begun to love myself, they have been unselfish in many ways, I have no worries here, I am safe and I am clean. Thank you Peoria Home, staff, sponsors, donors and everyone connected. I am forever grateful to be a part of this program. I have a new freedom, a new sense of being and a second chance. – SW
The Peoria Home residents and affiliates enjoyed the most amazing Thanksgiving Day dinner, thanks to the Northshore Christian Church ! The food items were delivered earlier in the week and the women enjoyed working together to get it all cooked and on the table.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
I am grateful for the women who gift us with the privilege of walking with them on their journey. I am grateful for our great staff, our board members and amazing volunteers!
I am grateful for all our donors who make the program possible.
We are blessed!
I wish you all a very blessed Thanksgiving. Stay healthy and safe!!
