Your support will make a meaningful difference in the lives of kids like Leila and Amari.

When Leila and Amari's grandparents died, they felt like they had lost everything. Their grandparents were the only real parents they ever knew. They were sent to live with their aunt, who struggled to care for them. She didn't know how to help them and was afraid they were headed down the wrong path.

Leila and Amari were both overwhelmed by grief and struggling at home and at school. It seemed like there was no way out, until their aunt searched for help on the internet and found Mercy Home.

Today, Leila and Amari have found a sense of peace, thanks to the therapeutic resources they need to heal and the academic support they need to catch up in school. They're learning how to communicate their emotions and cope with their loss in family therapy sessions with their aunt.

Leila and Amari are finally able to focus on school now - and they're looking forward to their classes and afterschool club activities in the new year.

Your generosity helps kids like Leila and Amari overcome their trauma and discover their true potential. Thanks to caring friends like you, these siblings are healing their relationship and looking forward to brighter futures.

Since 1887, Mercy Home has been a solution 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!

Your gift will make Christmas merry and bright for hurting kids like Leila and Amari.

They had lost everything. And then they began to lose each other.

When Leila and Amari's grandparents died, they felt like they lost everything. Overwhelmed by grief and struggling at home and at school, it seemed like there was no way out.

Their aunt, who had taken custody of the siblings, worried about how they struggled to communicate, and that they were both were headed down the wrong path. She wasn't emotionally or financially able to help, even though she truly did want the best for them. She searched for help on the internet and found Mercy Home.

Today, Leila and Amari have found a sense of peace, thanks to the stability of our Home and the therapeutic resources they need to heal. They've started participating in family therapy together to mend their broken relationship. Over time, they've even seen some of their closeness return.

But this brother and sister still have a long road of healing ahead of them. As do many of our boys and girls.

Your generosity will create a warm and wonderful Christmas for hurting kids like Leila and Amari. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at the Foglia Family Foundation, all gifts will be MATCHED during the month of December up to $100,000. You can give our kids the Christmas they deserve.

Many of our kids have never experienced the warmth and joy of a true Christmas - decorating the tree, baking cookies, singing carols, anticipating a special present on Christmas morning.

Please, share a gift today to help brighten the season for our kids and show them they are truly loved. Thank you.
