Refer a child

Save a child’s life just by picking up the phone.

Do you know a child who is struggling, living in a broken home or in a dangerous neighborhood, or who is burdened by homelessness or neglect? If so, please call us—you could save a life.

Mercy Home welcomes referrals of young people in need from throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. We evaluate each referred youth for appropriate placement within our full-time residential programs. Even if we determine that residential placement within Mercy Home is not the best fit for the child, we will provide him or her with access to other, potentially life-saving resources in the community.

Get Started. To refer a child in need, or if you yourself are a young person interested in placement at Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, call 312-738-7590.
