ABOUT

CASA TERESA

To provide pregnant women in crisis a loving home to begin their healing journey.

Love...simple and yet so powerful. At Casa Teresa our tagline is “home with a heart” and it is because

we truly welcome the pregnant women who walk through our doors and we love them. We become

their family, we meet them where they are without judgment, we build trust and we walk alongside

them in their healing journey.

Our co-founder Sally Sullivan wanted each woman to feel loved and become the mother God intended

her to be. She was called to be reunited with her beloved husband Neill and join our Heavenly Father

earlier this year. We are grateful for and committed to continuing her legacy of love.

Thank YOU for generously giving from your heart this past year to support the 148 women, children

and babies that we served. We could not carry out our mission without YOU! We see the impact of

your philanthropy every day as the women courageously make transformational changes to break the

generational cycles of abuse and addiction.

The women, children and babies are blessed by your love and support and we are so grateful!

THE JOURNEY:

CASA TERESA’S PROGRAMSOur five residential programs provide shelter and other basic needs, case management, classes, and

supportive services for pregnant women/new mothers and their children. We are committed to meeting

women wherever they are on their journey and giving them the support they need to get back on the

road to a bright future for themselves and their families. Our alumni program ensures that all members of

the Casa Teresa family, past and present, have the resources they need to stay the course and thrive.

RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS EMERGENCY MATERNITY SHELTER (EMS)We provide a safe place for the most vulnerable

women in severe crisis—often chronically

homeless, struggling with addiction, and/or

mental health challenges—to address safety,

health, and basic needs.

PARENTING PROGRAMThe Parenting Program helps pregnant women

without resources take their first steps toward a

healthy future from when they enter the program

through two months post delivery.

TRANSFORMATION 1 PROGRAM (T1)Mothers continue to receive supportive services,

while moving closer to self-sufficiency by attending

school and/or working full-time. They also learn

how to care for their babies and become great

moms in T1.

TRANSFORMATION 2 PROGRAM (T2)At this point on the path, mothers are mostly

self-reliant and are preparing to transition their

families to stable housing. They may also reunite

with any children previously placed in the care

of others, building family stability and breaking

dysfunctional cycles.

HANNAH’S HOUSEHannah’s House supports women who choose to

relinquish their baby for adoption, providing a safe

space to meet the physical and emotional needs

of women as they select an adoptive family.

ALUMNI SERVICES Casa Teresa’s love and support doesn’t come

with an expiration date. As our moms continue

on their way to healthy futures with their families,

we are always available with services, case

management, classes, and encouragement—

ensuring that even if they stumble, our moms

have the resources they need to stay on the right

path and break the cycles of poverty, addiction,

and homelessness for the next generation.

EDUCATION When a resident comes to our organization we

assess their education background and needs

based on their future career goals. We start by

making sure each woman has completed their

high school education and if not, we enroll

them in a program to complete this, preferably

before they give birth. We also help with college

enrollment, job experience and placements

utilizing on our partnerships within the community.

This program is a huge part of their success as they

gain confidence and start to make connections

to help them move towards self-reliance.

THE COLLECTION, RESALE STORECasa Teresa has a resale store! Run by staff,

volunteers and residents in a social enterprise

format “The Collection by Casa Teresa” provides

our residents with a unique opportunity to gain

valuable, paid work and customer service

experience. This beautiful shopping experience

boasts fashions for both men and women at

affordable prices. All our items come from

donations and are either new or gently used and

all proceeds go to support Casa Teresa.

Almost 11 years ago I was living in a sober living

house and I found out I was pregnant. With the

father already in jail, I was lost. I found out about

Casa Teresa and gave them a call to setup my

interview. I took the bus to my interview, wondering

if they would accept me. I got off the bus in

Orange and walked past an apartment complex

and thought to myself, “Would I ever be able to

afford something as nice as this?”

Casa Teresa decided to take me in. While living

at Casa Teresa, my mom found out Chapman

University was opening up a Graduate program

in my undergraduate Major of Speech Language

Pathology. I applied to the program and was put

on the waitlist.

After going on maternity leave and not knowing

how I was going to support my child once she was

born, I started to get scared and fell back into old

habits. At eight months pregnant, I found myself

handcuffed and taken to jail. I knew I had two

choices, keep things secret or, for once, be honest

with the people around me and let them help me.

Knowing that I may be jeopardizing my safe place

to live, I made the hardest and best decision of my

life. I told the truth to my parents and to Dr. Pugh

and asked for help. When I told Dr. Pugh, I was

simply told in a loving way, to get my act together.

Two weeks later I gave birth to a healthy little girl,

who I named Eve. Two days after giving birth to

Eve, I got a call from Chapman University and

found out I was accepted into my Graduate

program and a month later I was up for review at

Casa Teresa to see if I would be accepted into the

transition program. To my surprise, I was accepted

into the transition program and then the hard work

really started.

For the next year and a half, with the support of

Casa Teresa, my parents and later my boyfriend, I

was able to go to Graduate school and raise my

daughter with confidence.

As I graduated from Chapman University, I was also

graduating from Casa Teresa and again had to go

through another scary transition. But this time, I was

able to go through it with confidence. Remember

that apartment complex? We moved there. I left

Casa Teresa and moved about 100 feet across

the street. Casa Teresa helped me tremendously

during this time.

One month after moving out, I started my

first professional job as a Speech Language

Pathologist. A few months later, my boyfriend

moved into our apartment. While he is not Eve’s

birth father, he is her Dad. Eve now has a sister,

Juno, who is four years old.

Many people call me a success story from Casa

Teresa. But what do we define success as? Getting

a job? Being drug free? Graduating school? Living

with love? I view myself as a success story from

Casa Teresa because I was able to take the tools

and love that I learned at Casa Teresa and make

a better life for my family and myself.

Thank you to Casa Teresa and those of you who

contribute to Casa Teresa. Because of all of you,

we are able to access an amazing opportunity

that changes both our children and our own lives

in indescribable ways.

OUR FINANCIAL STRENGTH

During this fiscal year we experienced two significant

events that positively impacted our financial stability.

One was closing escrow on our Emergency Maternity

Shelter property which enabled us to pay down our

debts with the proceeds. Additionally, in April, we

received a legacy gift from the estate of Elsie Pierson

in the amount of $450,000 – which has become the

lead gift for our capital campaign.

We are grateful for your continued generosity, year

over year, which allows us to serve the women and

babies at Casa Teresa.

GUILD UPDATE TRIBUTE TO

SALLY SULLIVAN

In total, the Central Guild donated in direct funds, purchases, and gift cards over $61,000 to Casa Teresa. This is a 42% increase over the prior year. In addition to funds, our volunteers contributed over

1,961 hours.

We had a full year of events to raise funds, engage new

members and contribute to Casa Teresa both financially

and with our time. This year we participated in local city

events including the Orange Street Fair and the Buena Park

Silverado Days. We hosted member events, including a new

member social in the fall which was a huge success and

monthly bridge games and luncheon! To celebrate the

holidays, we hosted a fun Halloween-themed bingo night

for the members followed by a luncheon at Casa Teresa for

the moms and babies. At our annual Holiday party we gave

Casa Teresa a check for $10,000 and $500 in gift cards.

Two of our biggest events include the Casino Night in

February and the Kentucky Derby Party in May. Together

these events raise a big part of our overall fundraising efforts

as well as engage new and existing members. Make sure to

mark your calendars for both February 8, 2020 for the next

Casino Night and May 2, 2020 for the Kentucky Derby Party.

Beyond events, our members contribute their valuable time

preparing “Welcome Baskets” for the moms, sharing spiritual

devotions at the house through Bible study, as well as

attending board and strategic planning meetings to ensure

our goals are in alignment for the vision of the organization.

2019 marks Founders Guild’s 40th anniversary.

Our guild is in transition to sustain

us into the future. We are honoring

our past while incorporating modern

elements to our group. Fundraising

and member events are moving

from luncheons to evening events.

We are providing more hands on

opportunities for our Guild members

to support Casa Teresa. In addition to

fundraisers, we are taking on drives

to provide layettes and post-partum

kits for new moms. We are also hosting

dinners for residents and parties for

alumni.

In November we hosted a luncheon

with speakers in Newport Beach

and in May, our “creative” event,

was a class on inspirational painted

signs and included one of our most

spectacular auctions. We recreated

our May event as a Mother’s Day

party for the Casa Teresa moms the

following week, providing lunch and

the painting activity for all residents.

We lost our beloved co-founder, Sally Sullivan, in March of 2019. Sally, who along with her husband Neill, founded Casa Teresa 43 years ago to provide

a home for pregnant women in need.

She found her inner purpose in life and that was to show everyone she encountered that they were

loved. That was especially true at Casa Teresa. Her ability to be so loving and accepting enabled

people from all walks of life to open up and to feel loved. She manifested love because she was love.

Since the beginning, that is how Casa Teresa serves the women, children and babies – with great love

and acceptance. That is Sally’s legacy and what we are committed to continuing.

In honor of Sally and Neill, we are creating the Sullivan Legacy Society. Membership into this group is

for people who have named Casa Teresa in their will, bequest, trust or estate plans. This will assure that

Casa Teresa will serve women and babies as long as there is a need.

A HEART TO GIVE:

PARTNERS

We embarked on a journey to refresh each of the rooms in our 100 year old

building.

Three years ago, Jana Williams, a board member at

the time, embraced this project and transformed the

first room into a place of peace, dignity and healing.

Since then we have had generous donors and creative

individuals transform the remaining 10 rooms. Each

one has its own unique theme and décor.

The impact is best shared through the words of one of

our residents, Siarra.

Hello, my name is Siarra. I am the mother of

Vylette. I have lived at Casa Teresa for 1 year

and 2 months so far. I have been blessed with

the opportunity to graduate from each phase

at Casa Teresa, which transformed my life

drastically. One of the major reasons Casa Teresa

is set apart from other shelters is its tranquil and

calming setting. Being a single parent that has

to work full time to stay afloat isn’t easy. Being a

recovering addict while juggling life clean and

sober is a struggle sometimes too and can stress

me out. But coming home to Casa Teresa, to

the beautiful and serene apartments they have

created, helps soothe my soul and reminds me

that I’m safe and loved.
