An adjective that describes you: Giving
When did you first become involved with CASA Advocates for Children? February 2008
What is your favorite part of volunteering with CASA Advocates for Children? Giving time to children that are in need of a stable and safe adult. I believe that children who have been removed from their homes, for whatever reason, need a person present in their lives to focus on just them.
What has your work with CASA Advocates for Children taught you that you didn’t know before? The court process is long and drawn out. Although the goal for permanancy is one year, there are a lot of legal glitches and continuances that make it seem a lot longer. My thought is that if I am feeling the confusion and frustration by the process, it is only a portion of what the children are feeling.
What is something that you would want potential donors or volunteers to know about CASA Advocates for Children? Smiles are what it is all about! It can be as easy as taking your CASA kiddo out for ice cream. To you, it might be a simple act, but to them it is time and a treat, spent with a special friend.
