“As I walked through Mercy Center doors, I was broke and scared. I was not sure how to be the mother my children deserved. With MCW’s support, guidance and direction. I can now be the women and mother my children need me to be!”
— A grateful client

Journey Ph

Journey to Recovery Fund – Angel of Mercy Program

Sponsor a Family

Support a resident and her child/children to cover the costs for our residents in the Mercy Center for Women Recovery Program. Our women are responsible to pay $100 in monthly rent and provide $100 in food stamps. Our program depends on grants and philanthropic gifts to make up the difference. “Sponsor” a Mercy family and help pave the road to recovery for our women and children.

  • Your gift of $900 a month can support a resident and her child/children monthly.

Housing

Help provide for one resident to live at the Mercy Center for Women. This includes rent, utilities and personal hygiene products. There are a number of ways you can provide support to our women and children.

  • $200 per month (Mother and Family)
  • $100 per month (Resident only)
  • $50 per month (Resident and Family utilities)

Programs for Women 

A gift of $50 – $100 a month will provide the following programs for our residents: Self-esteem, Finance/Budgeting, Job Readiness and Mindfulness.

Children Activities

Help build upon the programs for the “Children of Mercy” to include arts/crafts, Brickz for kids and Physical Education. Our children would love to travel to the Neighborhood Art House. Erie Bayhawks game, Asbury Woods or Children’s Museum.

Transportation

Sponsor a bus ride. Often the women and children travel by cab and bus to reach their destination. Many of the women work and the expense of travel adds up.
