Our Latest Video
Heather’s House, Aid for Women’s first maternity home, opened in 2011. This video celebrates the 15th anniversary of this safe, nurturing home for expectant and new mothers.
Aid for Women supported me in helping me take an LSAT course...and now I’m a licensed attorney. To all the benefactors that support Aid for Women I want you to know that everything that you do impacts real people—people within your own community who need your support, and who could end up following their dreams and becoming the best version of themselves. And you would be the person to thank for that.
All human life, from the moment of conception and through all subsequent stages, is sacred because human life is created in the image of God. Nothing surpasses the greatness or dignity of a human person.
Our Mission
est. 1978
Founded in 1978 on the faith and teachings of the Catholic Church, Aid for Women helps thousands of women each year in the state of Illinois who find themselves troubled by an unexpected pregnancy. Each woman is provided with the emotional, practical, and spiritual support that she needs to choose life for her unborn baby and to provide a better future for herself and her child.Pictured: Alicia
