Inspiring Words from CASA Taylor P. "Since being assigned to my case in Fall 2025, I have truly enjoyed serving as a CASA. I was initially nervous about how the child would receive me at such a tender age, but over time our bond has grown in the most meaningful way. We now both look forward to our monthly time together.
