FOUNDER & CEO

ANNA MARIE WILSON, LMSW

First, I am a mother of three beautiful girls. I have been a Social Worker since 2012 when I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Arizona State University. I have worked as a therapist since, until 2020 when I began working as a School Social Worker. I have always had a passion for working with vulnerable populations especially children and families. I am Mexican and grew up on a farm here in AZ. I grew up in poverty, but thankfully, we always had a roof over our heads, no matter how small it was, and food on our table. As a child, I experienced many unfortunate events which led me to choose my career as I wanted to ensure I could be the adult for others that I never had and desperately needed.  Throughout my life, I have continued to grow through difficult experiences which has increased my passion in helping others and being that Ray of Hope. I have been very fortunate in having God in my life even when I did not recognize it. His love has saved me in my darkest moments. This has motivated me in pursuing this nonprofit in order to be a blessing to others and spread His love and mercy.  I pray this is the beginning of a beautiful journey and that Casa Rays of Hope may make a difference in even one person’s life. I want to thank Everyone for your support as we cannot do what we do without you!!! 

Together let's be a Ray of Hope!!!
