Lydia Children's Home

Lydia Home is a residential children's program in inner-city Chicago that LEFC supports. It first opened its doors at 4300 W. Irving Park Rd. in 1920 as an orphanage. Few of the children whom they now serve are true orphans; instead, most are victims of neglect and physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse.
