About Us

Our Mission

 We are Gercy, a General Residential Operation dedicated to changing the lives of boys ages 7 to 12. Our purpose is rooted in the conviction that all people are good at their core, and it is our responsibility to help those beautiful young souls who have been misguided or unguided. We provide a stable and therapeutic home where children can feel safe, valued, and understood. Our ultimate goal is not to hold on to kids, but to provide them with the support they need to heal and grow, enabling them to transition back to a loving, permanent family. We believe that through our commitment and support, we can make a real difference, giving every child the chance to live a fulfilling life.
