You’ve Helped Us Stand Strong — Now Help Us Stand Free

At CASA of South Mississippi, we’ve always believed that every child deserves someone in their corner — someone who won’t give up on them, no matter how tough the road gets. Because of you, we’ve been able to show up for so many children who needed just that — a voice, a steady hand, a safe path forward.

Now, we have the chance to do something that will strengthen our work for years to come — and we’d be so grateful to have you be part of it.

We’re working to pay off the mortgage on our Bay St. Louis office — our home base. It’s where the day-to-day work happens. It’s where calls are answered, cases are managed, and the behind-the-scenes efforts that support our advocates come to life.

If we succeed, the monthly funds from our budget going toward our mortgage can be redirected to accomplish our mission: to advocate for abused and neglected children.

That’s why we’re launching a campaign to burn the mortgage — and allow our funds to go where we need them most. When that final payment is made, it will mean:

• More resources going directly to the children and families we serve
• A stronger, more stable organization for the long haul
• Greater independence and resilience to weather whatever comes next

We know you give because you care. Because you believe in standing up for the most vulnerable in our community. This campaign is about more than just paying off a building — it’s about planting deeper roots, so we can grow stronger and serve longer.

Would you consider making a special one-time gift to help us reach this goal? Whether it’s $50, $500, or more, your support will make a real difference. And when we gather to celebrate burning that mortgage note — we hope you’ll stand with us, knowing you helped make it happen.
