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

When Leila and Amari's grandparents died, they felt like they lost everything. Overwhelmed by grief and struggling both at home and at school, it seemed like there was no way out. Their aunt, who had taken custody of the siblings, worried that both were headed down the wrong path.

But today the whole family is in a better place, thanks to the support Amari and Leila received at Mercy Home. Therapy has helped them deal with their grief and rebuild their relationship with one another. Our academic resources have helped both of them catch up in school. For the first time, they feel hopeful when thinking of the future.

Your generosity helps kids like Leila and Amari overcome painful pasts and reach their true potential. Because of caring friends like you, these siblings are able to cope with their grief and receive the support they need to become successful adults.

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!
