Will you help keep Maya in school? 

Education is the cornerstone of every child's success at Mercy Home. But many of our boys and girls arrive years behind, having faced trauma that made school a low priority.

Maya came to us after a series of heartbreaking challenges—her father’s overdose, her mother’s addiction, unstable housing, and missed school while working to support her family. At Mercy Home, she found safety, support, and the tools to thrive. Today, she’s on her way to college.

It’s not just Maya. There are so many more kids in need of help in the Chicago area, and your donation to Mercy Home allows us to reach even more of them. Donate now for a 3X MATCH and triple your life-changing impact.

A good friend of our Home has offered to match all gifts made through August 31, up to $50,000! Every dollar of your gift will be matched with two, effectively tripling your impact on the educational success of our boys and girls.

Your generosity will help kids like Maya overcome the odds and thrive in school, building the foundation for a better life.

Your gift + match = 3X the good!

Since 1887, Mercy Home has changed the lives of thousands of kids.

Your gift will give all our children at Mercy Home the opportunity to overcome the hardships of their young lives and look forward to futures full of success.

The success of Mercy Home kids depends on committed friends like you.
