Our Success
With the help of a CASA, children get through the trauma of the court system safely, quickly and effectively. Here are some of the ways a CASA advocate makes a difference in the life of an abused or neglected child in the court system:
CASA volunteers are ordinary people committed to doing extraordinary things for children and families.
As one East-Central CASA volunteers describes, "what joy one feels when receiving thank you notes from two young boys that you worked with a couple of year ago as an advocate and to be sent the families Christmas picture by their stepmother! It would appear as though life is pretty good for them once again!"
- Three children were returned to their mother after CASA advocacy helped to encourage the mother to complete her case plan.
- A CASA volunteer was instrumental in ensuring her CASA child received a replacement pair of eyeglasses.
- A brother and sister are beginning to have visits with each other because of CASA advocacy.
- A CASA volunteer advocated for several months to have a child's medications reduced and for her to be moved to another facility. She started improving after both of these were accomplished and is now thriving in a foster home.
