Your support will make a profound difference in the lives of kids like Sofía.

Before coming to Mercy Home, Sofía lost her father in a tragic work accident. She felt overwhelmed by grief and was struggling both at home and at school. Sofía’s emotions would erupt in unpredictable ways, and soon she was on the verge of being kicked out of school. Sofía felt lost and alone.

But today she's found a sense of peace, thanks to the safety and stability of our Home. Therapy has helped Sofía deal with her grief and rebuild her relationship with her mom. Our academic resources have helped her catch up in school. For the first time, Sofía feels hopeful when thinking of the future. 

Thanks to our friends at the Foglia Family Foundation, every gift in the month of December will be matched 2x, up to $100,000. Your gift will go twice as far toward creating the brighter futures out kids deserve. 

Since 1887, Mercy Home has been a beacon of hope for kids in crisis. We've helped tens of thousands of young people in Chicago recover from the trauma of abuse, neglect, and neighborhood violence, so they can grow and thrive. Be part of our children's success by making a generous gift today. Thank you!
