No distance is too far to save a child.
Mercy Home has saved thousands of young lives
Since 1887, Mercy Home has saved thousands of young lives from environments marked by neglect, abuse, and despair. With our help, Mercy Home is able to give our kids the chance to not just survive but thrive. Mercy Home provides guidance for healing and growth, support to catch up in school, and the tools to build a successful and self-reliant future. Last year alone, Mercy Home served more than 1,040 youth and families through their residential, community care, mentoring, and referral programs.
And because Mercy Home is nearly 100% privately funded, the support of people just like you and me is critical to our mission. I am running to ensure Mercy Home will continue to have the resources it needs to give these kids hope for tomorrow. As Mercy Home Heroes, we believe no distance is too far to save a child.
No distance is too far to save a child.
On Sunday, June 5, 2022, our team of Heroes will be participating in the Bank of America Chicago 13.1. What made us decide to tackle this challenge? We're passionate about making sure the children of Mercy Home for Boys & Girls have a safe and loving place to call home.
Your generous gift and our journey through Chicago's West Side will change the lives of children in need! Thank you for helping us cross the finish line, in fundraising and on race day, with your support of our efforts.
