Because of your generosity, our Foundation continues to make a lasting difference for Mercy’s patients, programs and services. In FY25, you helped us raise more than $37,000 — and together, we allocated over $13,000 to improve the health of our community. This impact was made possible not only through this year’s gifts, but also through the strength of prior-year reserves and investment income. Thanks to you, we were ready to meet urgent needs with care and compassion.
Every year, lives are changed because donors like you stepped forward to give. This snapshot illustrates some of Mercy’s most critical fundraising initiatives that will benefit not only our patients and their families, but also our caregivers and our community.

On November 25, Jonathan’s life changed in an instant. What started as a normal day ended in tragedy when he was involved in a side-by-side crash. The accident left him with a severe spinal injury and a complete fracture of his left femur. He was rushed to Mercy Hospital St. Louis, where doctors performed emergency orthopedic surgery.
Just twenty days later, Jonathan began the next chapter of his healing journey at Mercy Hospital Lincoln, where he started rehabilitation with courage and determination. Challenged by the strict limitations of his cervical fusion and the daunting task of relearning how to walk, he refused to give in. Session by session, step by step, Jonathan poured every ounce of strength into his recovery.
From a walker to a cane to finally moving on his own — Jonathan didn’t just walk again; he ran. And today, through his hard work and unshakable will, he runs sub-seven-minute miles and is back in the weight room, setting new personal records.
This fall, Jonathan is expected to return as a leader on his high school soccer team — not only as a player, but as a symbol of grit, perseverance and the power of the human spirit. His story is more than a comeback. It’s a triumph.

Chris Hacopian is a retired Marine who served our country with unwavering courage. He recently found himself facing a new battle — a life-threatening illness coupled by a crippling fear of the medical system.
Chris had suffered an injury in the Marines that forced him to retire early. Through his recovery, chronic pain and countless appointments left him feeling more like a number than a person. Years later, when he became dangerously ill, Chris was reluctant to seek care.
With encouragement from his wife, he came to Mercy. The compassionate care he received here made all the difference.
