Today we’d like to introduce you to Angel Heims.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started my journey in the medical field, working as a Certified Medical Assistant and serving my community in various healthcare settings. Along the way, I faced firsthand the challenges many single mothers experience—unstable housing, limited resources, and the struggle to balance work, education, and parenthood.
Those experiences inspired me to create Sisters In Purpose, a nonprofit dedicated to providing practical support, guidance, and empowerment to single mothers like myself and single income families. Today, my mission is to bridge the gap between need and access by offering resources that truly make a difference. My work continues to be driven by service, compassion, and a commitment to helping women build stable, confident, purpose-led lives.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The road definitely hasn’t been smooth. I’ve faced housing instability, including an eviction that left me temporarily homeless, all while trying to stay focused on nursing school. Each semester came with the stress of not knowing if I’d have stable housing, and at the same time I was supporting my son’s involvement in track and Business Professionals of America. On top of that, my car’s transmission failed and the vehicle was eventually repossessed, which made getting to work and school even harder.
Despite all of these setbacks, every challenge strengthened my determination. Those experiences are exactly why I’m passionate about the work I do today—because I understand what it feels like to keep fighting forward when the odds aren’t in your favor.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
As the founder of Sisters In Purpose Inc., my work centers on supporting single mothers who are navigating some of life’s most challenging circumstances. I specialize in connecting women with stable housing resources, emergency assistance, job readiness support, and community programs that help them rebuild their lives with dignity.
What I’m known for is creating a space where mothers feel seen, heard, and supported—not judged. I bring firsthand experience to this work, which allows me to advocate effectively for women who often fall through the cracks of traditional assistance systems. My approach is hands-on, compassionate, and solution-driven.
What sets Sisters In Purpose apart is our commitment to eliminating barriers. We don’t just hand out resources; we walk alongside mothers as they stabilize, heal, and move toward independence. I’m most proud of the trust our community has placed in us and the impact we’ve already made—proving that when women have real support, everything changes.
What does success mean to you?
To me, success isn’t measured by titles or income—it’s measured by impact. I believe you’re truly successful when you can reach back and uplift the same people who once supported you. Success is being in a position to give back, create opportunities, and open doors for others. When your growth becomes someone else’s breakthrough, that’s real success.
