Too many children are having to make impossible choices

Work or study? Food or rent? For Chicago youth facing violence, neglect, or poverty, these are questions they ask themselves every day.

You can give the stability, safety, and education kids need to thrive.

By donating today, you’re not only ensuring the children in our care will have their needs met. You’re also providing therapy, tutoring, career counseling, and other critical support programs for our youth. Donors like you help kids get a fresh start, finish high school, and have a bright future.

Every child deserves the chance to succeed. You can make it happen.

Help create brighter futures for Mercy Home's boys and girls.

Your support has a direct impact on Mercy Home’s kids.

Mercy Home has been a beacon of hope for kids in crisis since 1887. We’ve helped tens of thousands of young people in Chicago heal from their past and thrive. Thanks to donors, this is what we were able to accomplish last year:

3,538 individual therapy sessions were provided
144 youth lived with us
588 mentoring sessions were held
456 academic and career classes were taught
100% of our high school seniors graduated

When you make a gift to Mercy Home, you’re not just donating to a charity. You’re giving a fresh start to hundreds of kids who have nowhere else to turn.

Safety in the storm

So many young people face serious, sometimes life-threatening adversity. Abuse. Neglect. Insecure homes and struggling schools. Growing up surrounded by violence, poverty, and lack of opportunity, young people like these need a safe harbor.

WAYS TO GIVE
