Beyond Legal Aid: Our Community Involvement
Committed to the Community
When it comes to our services, we do everything we can to bring compassion and care to each and every person we interact with—and that extends far beyond the courtroom. With a heart as big as Mississippi, Missy “Mama Justice” Wigginton and the entire Mama Justice – MW Law Firm team are determined to uplift our community through charitable acts and community involvement.
Macon a Difference Foundation
Sometimes, devastating loss can lead to profound goodness. That statement especially rings true in the story behind the Macon a Difference Foundation, established by Missy after the tragic loss of her son, Macon, in 2018. Named in his honor, the Foundation aims to transform grief into positive action by providing assistance to underprivileged youth.
The Foundation is unique in that it’s not a one-size-fits-all non-profit. Built specifically with flexibility in mind, Macon a Difference aims to meet a wide array of needs for underprivileged youth in the community—from educational scholarships to expungements to construction of a local skate park.
