    Ep. 10: This Is How You Build a Village

    Cheriz Kunkel, co-founder and executive director of Foster Village Peoria, joins Marshal Heingartner to talk about foster care, faith, and the community it takes to care for children and families in crisis. Born with cystic fibrosis, Cheriz shares how she and her husband came to foster in 2017, what kids and caregivers face when a placement arrives with little warning and nothing to bring, and how three foster moms turned those gaps into a community-funded, volunteer-run nonprofit. She walks through Foster Village Peoria's six programs: welcome bags from the resource closet, a visit room for families, support gatherings, youth events, free educational trainings, and Project Soothe. She also tells how the organization launched in a matter of months through three local churches and the colleagues she was leaving behind, a story she calls faith-fueled.
