the Pulse: February 2025

Meet JR

Seven-year-old J.R. didn’t ask for video games or the latest toys this Christmas. His one wish? A pair of soccer cleats—not because he was on a team, but because he wanted to run through the park, kicking a soccer ball, pretending he was.

Thank YOU

Thanks to the generosity of incredible donors who give to Mercy Support Services, J.R. didn’t just get his cleats—he also received the opportunity to play on a real soccer team this spring with kids his age. His dream of being part of something bigger, of running onto a field not just in his imagination but in real life, is now a reality.

This is the power of Mercy in action. Because of you, hope is more than just a wish—it’s a promise fulfilled. 

Expand YOUR Impact

J.R.’s story is one example of how generosity changes lives—but did you know there are ways to make your giving go even further? Your voice is powerful! Tell friends and family about the impact of Mercy Support Services and why you support us. A simple conversation or social media post could inspire someone else to give. Every gift—no matter the size—has the power to transform lives, just like J.R.’s. Together, we make dreams a reality for children and families in our community.
