The Need
Roofing: Our roof is in need of repair to prevent further damage to our facilities.
Electrical Upgrade: Our current systems can’t support our program’s demands, as the existing electrical infrastructure is no longer sufficient for modern needs. This improvement will allow us to run multiple systems simultaneously without interruptions, ensuring that our facility remains both effective and safe for everyone involved.
Fencing: For years, repairing our fence has been on our to-do list as the need for a secure perimeter has grown. Upgrading our fence will be critical to ensuring the safety of the children and families we serve. This improvement will also protect our facilities, creating a safer, more welcoming environment for our community.
Sump Pump: The avoidable flood of 2023 has taught us a hard lesson: our current sump pump simply isn’t up to the task, leaving us to question whether our space is protected. Upgrading it means securing our home and our future.

The Impact |
Why Give? |
Our AHIA blue home has been a steady and genuine support system for families over the past five years. It’s a place where people come together for honest support, good conversation, and reliable programming. Families know they’re truly valued here—by our staff, board, and neighbors who have become like family. We also have close partnerships with groups like Chicago Hopes for Kids and Children’s Research Triangle, who rely on our second floor for their therapy sessions and programs.
When we update our space, we’re making sure that our home remains safe and comfortable for everyone. This means smoother, worry-free programming like My Fresh Table, dry and secure partner spaces, and well-maintained supplies—all of which let us do what we do best: serve families. |
Your donation is a direct investment in our community’s future:
When you give to our campaign, you’re doing more than donating money—you’re affirming that every family deserves a safe place to thrive. Your support helps keep our blue home open—a rare space in our community where every family gets equal access to programs, partnerships, and resources. In essence, you’re saying, “I believe in you.” With the right support and education, families can create healthy, thriving lives. Your gift tells them that their voice matters, their triumphs are celebrated, and their worries are truly heard. |
