Sponsor a Student by Donating to Legacy of Learning.

They say there are no guarantees in life. They are wrong.

Right now, you can guarantee that a child will have the opportunity to receive a life-changing education. You can guarantee that the cost of education will never stand in the way between a child and her dreams. And you can extend that guarantee to every child who comes to Mercy Home today, tomorrow and forever.

Donate now to our Legacy of Learning campaign.

The campaign has one simple goal: to build a $20 million, interest-generating fund that will cover educational costs for Mercy Home's children far into the future.

Your support of education is more than a gift, it's an investment. One that yields extraordinary returns in the lives of young people like ours who come to us hurting emotionally, struggling in school, but brimming with potential.

Mercy Home already helps kids heal from the pain of their pasts. And we support their academic success by providing them with tutoring, extra coursework, and remedial math and reading programs that help them catch up to their peers.

Now, with your support of Legacy of Learning, we can make sure that these children have full access to a quality education. We can help them envision a better future. And we can give them the tools they need to build it.

Nothing is more critical to the success of our entire community than helping our young people become self-reliant adults.

Education now, Education forever

The cost of a good education is skyrocketing. But the cost to our country of not preparing our children to contribute is greater.

Legacy of Learning will ensure that no matter how high education costs rise in the decades to come, our children will always have access to the very best schools and resources to support their unique needs. It will provide for things like:

• Tuition
• Transportation
• Books
• Uniforms
• Computers

Your investment is supported by the vast array of support services we are able to provide our young people.

These children's futures are our futures—our legacy. With your help, they will thrive.

Guaranteed.
