As of March of 2017, we opened a second home and are now able to house a maximum of eight women and their babies at any one time. Our goal for each woman we serve is to graduate our program with a healthy baby and the mother feeling equipped to parent, with improved life skills and plans for her independent support through work or schooling. Mercy House ministers to the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of the women through a team that includes residental house parents, professional counselors, mentors,and many other volunteers.Thirteen women received residential services at Mercy House this fiscal year. Eight babies were born to these mothers during that period.Services provided to residents included ongoing care from certified midwives, chiropractors and counselors, in additional to dental, optometrist and medical care as needed. Residents received life skills training, Recovery counseling, financial planning classes, food preparation and nutritional training. Help with obtaining Medicaid, WIC, Drivers's licenses and continuing on-line education were important components of the program this year as well. Mercy House continued to help residents with developing goals for the future and assisted with next step placements, including shepherding homes where new moms can receive additional care and support.Our in-house "Baby Boot Camp" curriculum prepared expectant mothers with training on childbirth and breast feeding all the way through potty training. Real Care Baby Training, car seat safety classes, CPR training and adoption counseling were also provided along with baby showers to celebrate the new mothers.Spiritual needs were met through Sunday worship services, weekly bible studies and daily devotinals in addition to volunteer mentors assigned to residents. 167090 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 false 6 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false true true true false X X Beverly Hallett 8179461619 6504 Horseshoe Bnd Colleyville TX 76034 X Susan Hulet Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Harkins Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Beverly Hallett Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jon Blume President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Saundra Halstead Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shanika Robinson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rachael Moussa Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 108354 166148 2610 274502 0 787 787 0 0 0 0 108354 19531 -19531 -19531 0 0 0 255758 787 -19531 0 0 0 0 0 0 98116 62124 18476 17516 0 0 7506 4752 1414 1340 0 0 0 0 8000 8000 0 0 13896 13896 1829 1829 0 0 75454 75454 0 0 0 0 0 0 6418 4910 1508 Client Expenses 18032 18032 Other administrative expense 3724 3724 Merchant fees 3133 3133 Volunteer expenses 2499 1529 68 902 825 289 206 330 239432 167090 30358 41984 6065 14823 102267 106712 0 0 0 0 0 0 10768 7969 21335 21335 21335 0 0 0 0 5051 140435 155890 2598 3728 2000 1 4599 3728 X 135836 152162 135836 152162 140435 155890 16326 X true X false false false X 132774 182043 204329 309923 254971 1084040 0 0 132774 182043 204329 309923 254971 1084040 164053 919987 155 97 189 530 787 1758 0 0 1085798 0.84730 0.81740 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2355 2355 18980 18980 21335 false Dinner 108354 108354 15408 4123 108354 108354 15408 4123 19531 -19531 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The content of the Form 990 is reviewed and verified with the Executive Director before finalization.
