Why CASA is important to Mike:

"Kids are challenging enough when they have loving parents with adequate resources. Foster kids can be at a disadvantage without the stability of their family. A kid in need is going to latch on to something that cares or perceived to care about them. The CASA leadership is committed to training caring volunteers to do a lot of the things kids parents would do. I used to think the organization was just showing up in court for kids. I now know that the volunteers mentor kids and are involved for important days for the kids lives like doctor appointments, school meetings, and hopefully reintegration with their family. Having a stable caring adult can help the kiddos be the adults we all know that they can be with helpful guidance."
