General information

Why We Were Founded

From the Founder/CEO:

"My spouse was very abusive to me and my child for many years. I looked for help from the Houston Women's Center, so my child and I could be free and safe from our abuser. I finally moved into a shelter with my kid and was able to reinvent myself by going to school to finish up my Masters Program at a nearby Devry University."

"My experience in the shelter, empowered me to make a difference in people's lives and I decided to help others who were in the same dangerous situations as I once was. I have learned that some abused women feel they cannot leave their relationships because they are economically dependent on their abuser, or believe that they deserve to be ill treated; or feel at fault for their abuse. No, it is not your fault that your loved ones choose to abuse you, and for these reasons, I created the MercyHouse Organization to empower women and inspire them with courage to break free from the chains of domestic violence and abuse, and find some peace and strength to begin a new life toward wholeness. The MercyHouse Organization will help in placing women to a safer environment where they can begin to heal, and reclaim their power so they can be self sufficient."

"Together we can stop domestic violence and abuse against women and children"
