Merciful Hearts

Merciful Hearts is a faith-based charitable organization that supports vulnerable and destitute individuals, especially the poor, sick, abandoned, and dying. Through its flagship work at Karunalaya, a home for the dying and destitute in Belgaum, India, Merciful Hearts helps provide shelter, food, medical care, and dignified support for people who have nowhere else to go. The work is carried out under the Leomel Society for care of the dying and destitute, with fundraising and donor outreach coordinated internationally, including from contacts based in San Jose, California.

A charge from “PAYPAL *MERCIFULHEA” on a bank or card statement typically reflects a donation processed via PayPal to Merciful Hearts. This may be a one-time contribution made through an online donation form or campaign link, or in some cases a recurring monthly donation if the donor opted into a subscription-style giving plan. Because PayPal often truncates merchant names on statements, “MERCIFULHEA” is the shortened display of “Merciful Hearts,” while the phone number shown (402-935-7733) is associated with PayPal’s processing rather than the charity itself.

If someone has questions about this charge, they should first check email records for a PayPal donation receipt or confirmation from Merciful Hearts, which will show the date, amount, and campaign or purpose of the gift. Donors can also log into their PayPal account to review the transaction details or cancel any recurring donation profiles linked to Merciful Hearts. For additional clarification, supporters can reach out using the contact information on merciful-hearts.org (such as the San Jose mailing address and email) and provide the transaction date and amount so the organization can look up the donation. If the charge still appears unfamiliar or unauthorized, the cardholder should contact their card issuer or PayPal directly to dispute or block future payments.
