Our 2024 Hope Warrior Advocate Awardee
Honoring Casey McCurry: The Inaugural Recipient of the Hope Warrior Advocate Award
At Malachi’s Message Foundation, we believe in recognizing individuals whose dedication, advocacy, and compassion inspire hope and healing within the mold toxicity community. The Hope Warrior Advocate Award was created to honor such extraordinary efforts, and we are proud to announce Casey McCurry as its very first recipient.
Casey’s contributions to the mold toxicity community exemplify what it means to go above and beyond in service to others. Her unwavering commitment has made a profound impact, from actively participating in every fundraiser we’ve held—including the summer Pie in the Face contest—to spearheading the McCurry Mattress Fund, a project that provided new mattresses to families who lost theirs to mold and were unable to replace them. Thanks to her leadership and compassion, countless families who had been sleeping on floors or air mattresses found comfort and relief.
Casey’s journey as a military wife has uniquely shaped her advocacy. Having personally faced the devastating effects of mold in military housing—on both her health and that of her family—she has become a passionate voice for military families navigating similar challenges. She channels her experiences into meaningful action, providing support and hope to others in their time of need.
Professionally, Casey serves as an intake coordinator for Just Well Law, often acting as the first point of contact for individuals seeking help. Her role is not just a job—it’s a calling. Casey’s compassion, guidance, and mentorship have earned her the reputation of being a tireless “Hope Warrior” for everyone she encounters. She also contributes to Malachi’s Message Foundation through her writings for the Stories of Hope Blog, sharing her personal testimony and practical advice to inspire others seeking healing and answers.
Casey often says, “If you want to find your purpose in life, look for your wound.” Her work is a testament to this belief, transforming her own experiences into a source of strength, advocacy, and purpose.
We are honored to celebrate Casey McCurry as a remarkable woman, mother, advocate, and friend to all. Her dedication embodies the very heart of Malachi’s Message, and we are deeply grateful for the countless lives she has touched.
