Mary Ellen's Circle

Mary Ellen's Circle Mary Ellen Wilson’s story marked the beginning of a world-wide crusade to save children. Wheeler was able to advocate for Mary Ellen and have a Judge intervene.

Mary Ellen’s Circle is a network of women committed to supporting the work of CASA and needs of abused and neglected children in the Shoals community.For information on becoming a member of Mary Ellen’s Circle contact the CASA office @ 256.765.0041. Mary Ellen Wilson was born in 1864 lost her father at an early age and her mother was unable to care for her alone. Mary Ellen was placed in a boardin

Mary Ellen’s condition came to the attention of a mission worker by the name of Etta Wheeler, who worked tirelessly to bring this child out of her abusive situation. With the help of Henry Bergh, a leader of the animal humane movement at the time, Ms. CASA Volunteers in the Shoals are advocating every day for abused and neglected children in our community. Mary Ellen’s Circle Members are committed to providing program awareness and financial support to CASA.

***UPDATE- THESE LISTS HAVE BEEN SPONSORED*** :)
ATTN: Mary Ellen's Circle Members
Each year, CASA helps fill in the gap for Children who come into foster care after holiday wish list deadlines have passed. (The majority of our local foster children are sponsored by Kids to Love for their Christmas Wishes, but the K2L deadline for registration is in October.) For those children that enter care between the K2L deadline end and Christmas Day, Shoals CASA works to help find sponsors for those children's Christmas Wish Lists. We've received a total of 17 Wish Lists so far, and 2 of these lists remain in need of sponsors.

Would any of you/your business/your family be interested in sponsoring one of these 2 Christmas Wish Lists for foster children? I'll post the lists in the comments below so that you can take a look as you consider the request. Thank you all so much for your support of our work for children!
