Your Generosity in Action
In the Northern Hills, a young mother of three found hope and healing through counseling made possible by Catholic Social Services and funding support from United Way of the Black Hills.
When she first sought help, she carried a heavy burden of an abusive marriage and the responsibility of raising her children alone. The trauma of her past was evident, but so was her determination to create a brighter future for her family.
Through her counseling sessions, she courageously faced the pain and trauma she had endured. It was a difficult journey, but with time, patience, and support, she began to heal. The transformation was extraordinary — not just in her ability to process her own experiences, but also in how she grew as a mother. Despite her personal struggles, she has consistently provider her children with love, stability, and support, creating a safe and nurturing environment for them to thrive.
The role of affordable counseling services in her journey cannot be overstated. Without the grant funding provided through United Way of the Black Hills, these live-changing services would have been out of reach. This support became a lifeline, empowering her to overcome adversity and build a better future for herself and her children.
Thanks to generous donors like you, United Way of the Black Hills is able to make stories like this possible!
