Kudos for Some Amazing CASA Volunteers!

To CASA Kendra for the successful adoption of her eleven-year-old CASA child with his forever family. Kendra has providing advice, support and care for the child since 2020. She is loved by the family and is so happy for all of them in this successful adoption. 

To CASA Jim for being there for his sixteen-year-old CASA youth during some very difficult times. This young man recently lost both parents and is experiencing a great deal of loss and grief. Jim will be there to listen and continue to provide support for this young man in whatever ways that he can.
