the Pulse : August 2025

Meet Kathleen

When Kathleen came to Mercy Support Services, she had just one week to avoid eviction. A stay-at-home mom, newly divorced, and facing the loss of a job, she was overwhelmed with fear, anxiety, and hopelessness.

Desperate for stability - physically, emotionally, and spiritually - Kathleen moved with her children into one of our supportive housing units. Life coaching began immediately, giving her space to be heard, process emotions, and set goals. Through Scripture, emotional regulation, and planning, she began to find peace—and a path forward.

Today, Kathleen is working full-time! While adjusting to her new routine, her life and financial coaches continue to help her balance work and family, manage debt, and move forward with confidence and faith.
