The Joy of Living’s Story

Meet our founder, Kimberley McCoy, the woman behind the vision of empowerment for low-income women, children, and youth to find a pathway out of poverty.

“It was not long ago that my world fell apart around me. Domestic violence and divorce left me and my two children impoverished and, eventually, homeless. My vision was to improve the lives of low-income women and children through an array of services that educate and ensure self-sufficiency for all women and children.”
