September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and it's time to "paint the town 🎗️ GOLD 🎗️" once again! We honor the brave young warriors fighting the good fight and remember the ones who have passed on. 💛

At Family House, we see their strength and courage every day. We provide a "home away from home" for families and patients receiving cancer treatment in Peoria, offering comfort, compassion, and community when they need it most.

This month, you can help us continue our mission:

•Show Your Support: Use the hashtag and share your stories of hope.

Together, we can make a difference and shine a light for every child and family facing a cancer diagnosis. 🎗️💛

🌟 Wishlist Wednesday! 🌟

We know how stressful it can be when a loved one is in the hospital. Our guests, especially the young ones, enjoy playing Wii games in between their or their loved ones' procedures. Can you help us bring more joy?

We're looking for donations of new or gently used Wii games! If you have games gathering dust or are looking to make a meaningful difference, please consider donating. Every game helps!

You can drop off or have the games delivered to Family House at 1339 E Nebraska Ave, Peoria, IL 61603
