On Monday, May 3, the Women's Care Center of Peoria was ravaged by a severe fire that did an estimated $250,000 in damage. Authorities have ruled that the fire was started intentionally.

Reports say that firefighters were called to Women's Care Center of Peoria at 2:40 a.m. on Monday. By the time they arrived, flames were already bursting from the windows of the facility. The fire destroyed one large room and did extensive heat and smoke damage to the rest of the building.

The center said that its priority is to serve its clients as soon as possible, but it needs help to do so.

"Our need is great, as 1 in 5 babies born in Peoria County get their start with Women’s Care Center," the center wrote in a post on their Facebook page.
