September is National Kinship Care Month, a time to honor trusted adults who step in when parents cannot. Kinship can mean grandparents or aunts, but it can also be neighbors, teachers, or in Amy’s* case, a nurse who already cared for her during hospital stays.
Molly has been a CASA Volunteer since April 2021. She is an Occupational Therapist and carries that experience into her advocacy. She was appointed to Amy's case in April 2023. Amy, now four years old, received a heart transplant as an infant and has faced a lifetime of complex medical needs. When she entered foster care, one of her nurses and her husband became licensed specifically so they could provide Amy with a stable home. Just last week, they officially adopted her.
