Every Child Deserves a Home
In America more than 518,000 children are in foster care. Three in four children are separated from their siblings. Most will live in six or more foster homes. And once the children age out of foster care:
- 40% live on public assistance
- 46% never finish high school
- 84% have a child within 18 months
- 25% are homeless at some time
There must be a better way ... and there is ...
SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES ILLINOIS provides a viable alternative to traditional foster care. Children who come to live at SOS stay with their biological brothers and sisters in a private home. A full-time, professionally trained foster parent lives with them, and the whole Village gives them support, compassion and strength.
