Families leave messages of hope as 2026 St. Jude Dream Home nears completion

GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - Construction on the 2026 St. Jude Dream Home in the Florence Gardens neighborhood of Gulfport is near completion.

One of the construction milestones is the installation of the home’s subfloor. On Thursday, patients and their families signed their names and wrote messages of hope on it.

Clark Builders is constructing the four-bedroom, three-bath, 2,010-square-foot home, with an estimated value of $500,000.

The home has a master bathroom with a double vanity, makeup station, and walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry. It also includes a kitchen with a farmhouse sink and Bosch appliances, plus a covered rear porch.

Tickets to win the house are $100. You can purchase them online or by calling the ticket hotline at 800-206-2263. The drawing will be on Wednesday, April 29, during Good Morning Mississippi.

All money raised from the Dream Home giveaway goes to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help children battling cancer.
