Mercy Home for Children presents our...

2026 Spring Soiree 'Blooms of Belonging' Fundraiser!
At Mercy Home, we hold a quiet, steadfast belief: that growth is not simply something we witness, but something we cultivate together. On Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 5:30pm, that spirit will blossom in full at our “Blooms of Belonging” Gala at Industry City 5-2-A, an evening where purpose takes root and possibility unfolds.
Proceeds from this year’s Gala will sustain and expand our Horticultural Therapy Program; one of Mercy Home’s signature initiatives. Though not funded through traditional channels, its impact resonates deeply. Within gardens carefully tended, the individuals we serve discover renewal, connection, and the quiet confidence that comes from growth. With your support, we can deepen this work, cultivating both wellness and the life skills that carry forward our promise of Life Skills for Lifelong Living.

During National Nurses Week 2026, we proudly honor the extraordinary nurses of Mercy Home for Children whose compassion, clinical expertise, and unwavering dedication bring comfort and confidence to the individuals we serve with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). More than monitoring health, our nurses build trusting relationships, ease fears, advocate for each person’s unique needs, and help every resident live with dignity, safety, and purpose. Their healing presence reflects the Mercy mission in action; offering care that nurtures both body and spirit and reminding us that the most powerful medicine is often kindness.
