I became a CASA to help kids. I thought it was a great opportunity to make a real difference and change someone's life. I couldn't have imagined how much this experience would change me. These children need our help. The system is broken and the victims are truly innocent. When you help a child believe in themselves and feel like someone really cares and is there fighting for them, you see their self esteem come back you give them hope. There is no better gift you can give than that of your time and dedication. You are a silent hero to these kids and in your love, you find peace.
