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

When Sofía's father died, she felt like she lost everything. Overwhelmed by grief and struggling both at home and at school, it seemed like there was no way out. Sofía’s emotions would erupt in unpredictable ways, and soon she was on the verge of being kicked out of school. 

But today the whole family is in a better place, thanks to the support Sofía received at Mercy Home. Therapy has helped her 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.

Your generosity helps kids like Sofía overcome painful pasts and reach their true potential. Because of caring friends like you, she is able to cope with her grief and receive the support she needs to become a successful and thriving adult.

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!
