THE HOLIDAY SEASON:
The true gift of a Second Chance

A joyful celebration of second chances:

We have had the privilege of welcoming four amazing families into our program thus far.

Each child has brought their unique spirit, joy, and resilience, and it has been heartwarming to watch them bond with their mothers in our supportive and nurturing environment. Their growth and healing remind us of the power of second chances and the hope that blooms in places of grace.

Throughout these past months, we have seen moments of joy—celebrating birthdays together, participating in Children’s Ministry activities, and witnessing the children thrive with trauma-informed counseling.

It fills our hearts with joy to know that together, we are making a difference.

Give the gift of a second chance!

As we move forward, we reach out to you with hope and humility. 

Your support is essential to continue our vital work of caring for families in need. We invite you to consider a one-time gift of any amount, a gesture that will help us sustain our services and bring comfort to those who rely on us. 

For those who feel called to give more, a monthly contribution—no matter how small—can make a world of difference, enabling us to plan better and serve our community with love and dedication throughout the coming year.

Every single gift, no matter its size, carries the power to transform lives and bring renewed hope and healing to Mercy’s Shore.

If you feel moved to support our mission or simply want to learn more about how you can help, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can connect with us at +1 (214) 446-1811 or email [email protected].

We also invite you to visit our website to discover the impact of your generosity. 

Your kindness can light up the darkest days and sow seeds of hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Thank you for choosing us this holiday season and for believing in our mission.

The lifelines of second chances:

We believe that together, we can do more.

We are thankful for our growing partnerships with other incredible ministries and organizations committed to uplifting mothers and children in need.

Collaborations with groups such as:

• Dallas Christian Women's Job Corp
• Ascend Dallas
• Park Cities Presbyterian Church
• Lakewood Presbyterian Church
• First Baptist Church – Dallas
• Avis Lewis

These partnerships enrich our programs and expand the resources available to our families.

With the collective support and resources, we can provide support that addresses diverse needs, ensuring that our families have access to employment training, spiritual growth, and community support during their journey toward healing.

Dear Mercy’s Shore Community,

While we are thrilled to announce that all four families at Mercy’s Shore have been adopted this Christmas 2024, we know that the spirit of giving doesn’t stop here! 

Sad you missed your chance to adopt a family? Don’t worry! You can still make a difference!

If you’re looking for another way to contribute, you can choose to "adopt" all the families. With your generous gift, we can provide essential resources and festive cheer for all of them. Every contribution, big or small, goes directly toward meeting their needs and ensuring they feel the warmth of the holiday spirit!

Thank you for your ongoing support to Mercy’s Shore!

Together, we can make this season one filled with hope, joy, and love.

With gratitude,
Mercy’s Shore
