Mercy Home West Loop Campus

Great mass by Fr. Dan Brandt on 2nd & 4th Sundays!

“I want to share my experience as a parent so others know what to expect. My son completed all the requirements to qualify for this program and we were originally told he was on the waitlist. Unfortunately, communication from staff—especially one coordinator named Nicole Martinez —has been very unprofessional and dismissive. When I asked reasonable questions about my son’s status, I was met with rude responses and a lack of transparency. It felt like personal attitudes were affecting the process, which is extremely frustrating when you’re trying to get your child the help they need. I hope the administration addresses this, because families deserve respectful communication and consistent information. Other staff may be great, but my experience with this particular coordinator made the process much harder than it needed to be.”

they are kinda rude and forced my chikd into labor

Wonderful non-profit for the kids/young adults. Offers a "home" to kids who've grown up rough- they now know they'll have food to eat - 3 times a day - every day and a bed to sleep on. Kids who've been neglected, abused or in violent situations. They have chores daily. A therapist to meet with weekly or more and family therapy. They provide an opportunity for the kids to become successful and be a light. Which, hopefully, upon returning home their light brings more light to their family and then their family to the community.

HORRENDOUS. NEVER SEND ME ANOTHER PIECE OF MAIL. I will have my lawyer investigate you all if I do as I've never been associated with this place, and having my address is suspicious. Stop forcing your stuff on people.

I was a youth who lived here during my last two years of high school . I was always a hardworking and respectful youth, but I also would stand up for myself and other youth when we were mistreated poorly. There is a high degree of favoritism by staff and they don’t know how to care for those with disabilities or mental illness, which is the whole program bc most of these kids come from tragic situations. Gewanda Monroe the Couderc program manager, especially is a problem. I was told I was going to be unsuccessful in life by my youth advocate in a letter for a scholarship application. (By the end of that school year I was student body president, had two internships, I also had straight A’s before and after this.) I was genuinely a good kid, and never understood why they were always mean to us. Us as youth became a family surviving it together. Gewanda Monroe would body shame youth as well. I wanted to apply for Mercy Home’s scholarship, I was told by Gewanda and other staff I didn’t qualify and shouldn’t apply. I applied anyway, and received the scholarship. (Same one) One time, I expressed I felt really depressed (had just moved to mercy, my main caregiver my grandmother had just passed) and I felt like I needed to go to the hospital, I was told I was lying, being dramatic, and they refused to take me or offer additional in support care. This is just a little bit of how life is here for those kids. As a scholar, although I am grateful to have a degree of support, usually the help they provide is minimal, and for things like paying school expenses or rent, they usually either do it passed the deadline and delay it for 6+ months, say they support something then won’t, or just not end up doing it.

Great and friendly atmosphere. Nice soccer field 🏟 ⚽️
