The Words of a CASA Child

A CASA is a person who helps you and your family (ex: Christmas and family visits).  Well if you ask me what a CASA means to me, I would say that a CASA worker is like family.  When you are in CPS it can get lonely and not where you want to be.  I also think that a CASA worker is someone who you can talk to any time.  Not all CPS kids have a CASA worker.

When I first met my CASA I was in a foster home with my sister.  In the home there was a brother and a sister.  My CASA was their CASA before me.  When I met my CASA I thought she was a very kind and caring person.  Then my sister and I moved to another foster home, but I still had my CASA.  I was so happy and I gave her a huge hug. 

My CASA has always been there for me and helps out a lot.  I treat my CASA like a grandma and as my family.  Every time I see my CASA, I would say that she is the best.  I talk to her about almost everything.  When Holidays come around she would bring gifts or crafts.

So that is why I love having a CASA.  Thank you CASA for everything you did for my life these past years in care.
