I’m thrilled to share that Breakthrough Episcopal Social Services is launching our “From Surviving to Thriving” campaign, and I want to invite you to join us in empowering individuals facing untreated mental illness and homelessness.
At Breakthrough, we believe everyone deserves the chance to find stability, regain dignity, and build resilience. This campaign focuses on providing the mental health services, housing support, and community care that people need to rebuild their lives. By supporting this campaign, you directly contribute to life-changing transformations, helping individuals like Wendy, Alex, and Kelly on their journey from surviving to thriving.
- Wendy was living out of her car, struggling with untreated mental health issues. Today, thanks to the support she received, Wendy has found stability, employment, and renewed hope.
- Alex faced traumatic experiences and deep anxiety. Now, with therapy and community support, he’s on a path to independence and fulfillment.
- Kelly came to us overwhelmed and without a stable home. Through consistent support and mental health resources, he’s rebuilding his life with purpose and determination.

With your donation, we’re aiming to fund these vital programs and help more people find the strength to overcome adversity. Your gift will provide therapy sessions, housing interventions, peer support, and so much more for individuals striving to move beyond survival.
Please join us in making a lasting difference by donating this Advent season. Together, we can help individuals not only survive but thrive.
Thank you for being an essential part of this journey.
