Educate a Child in Need

Give Youth the Gift of Education

Children who fall a grade behind rarely recover their academic standing. Ultimately, most will drop out, experts know. Academic and educational gifts and donations to Mercy Home for Boys & Girls education charity pave the way to a brighter future for a troubled child. Be a role model today by making a contribution to a child’s education.

Best Way to Contribute to a Child’s Education:                             

James J. Close Scholarship Fund: all donations are fully invested in the education of the children of Mercy Home for Boys & Girls.


Education is a Solution for Kids in Crisis 

Many of the children at Mercy Home for Boys & Girls arrive more than a full year behind in school.  And nearly half of their peers will drop out of high school. Yet, every child who comes to Mercy Home advances a grade level or graduates from area schools—many are the first in their families to go on to college!
