Give now to help our kids catch up in school and build brighter futures. 

Education is the cornerstone of every child's success at Mercy Home. Many of our boys and girls have endured traumatic circumstances that prevent them from making school a priority. Most arrive three to four years behind in school—especially in the important subjects of math and reading.

Witnessing his brother’s death nearly derailed Eric’s future, but when his parents reached out for help, Mercy Home was there to offer educational and emotional support. We connected them with a therapist to work through their grief and trauma, and provided Eric with the tools he needed to be successful at school. Today, Eric is set to graduate and head to college next fall. 

You can help more kids like Eric change their story with a gift to Mercy Home. Donate now and maximize your positive impact on the lives of children who have suffered the trauma of abuse, neglect, and neighborhood violence with a 3x MATCH!

A good friend of our Home has offered to match all gifts made through August 31st, 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.

This means that your kindness is reaching even further, touching even more lives, and making an even greater difference for our kids. Your generosity will ensure that each of our children has the opportunity to flourish academically so they can build brighter futures.

After 13-year-old Xavier witnessed his brother’s tragic death by neighborhood violence, his parents reached out to Mercy Home for help. We connected them with a therapist to work through their grief and trauma, and provided Xavier with the tools he needed to be successful at school. This year, Xavier received a “Most Improved Student” award and is looking forward to trying out for his high school’s basketball team in the fall.
