“I have been a CASA advocate for about four months. I have a very strong faith and I had been feeling a calling to work with children, or children’s ministry. I realized I wanted to become a CASA while reading Joan Ulsher’s book, Misplaced Childhood. Understanding her story, and what she did to make a difference inspired me to become a CASA.”
“The most rewarding aspect of being a CASA is having the opportunity to make a positive difference in a child’s life. The traumas these children have faced, and the challenges they will continue to face, is not a journey they should have to endure alone. My goal is to show up, encourage, and to be their voice throughout their time in foster care, and beyond if/when possible. Currently, the most rewarding part of being a CASA is visiting with the children and knowing they are genuinely happy to see me. Their confidence, and their HUGS, are my greatest motivation! I am grateful for the opportunity for the significant role CASA plays to ensure everyone is doing what's right for the children.”
“In all honesty, making the decision to become a CASA was not only exciting, but nerve wracking. The training was a bit challenging, trying to work on modules and fit classes into my busy schedule. Despite the challenges, the moment I was assigned my first case, it was all worth it! I am proud of the role I have and the commitment I made. Being a CASA is an honor and a great privilege. Making a difference in a child’s life is the most rewarding part of the journey and I encourage others to consider.”
