My Nonprofit Reviews

My mother was a foster child in the 1930's. She was 5 years old and present at the scene when her mother was run over by a drunk driver; and in the back seat of the car when her grandmother was killed in a head on collision. She was placed in foster care. Her childhood was so horrible that I know only bits and pieces of it, as she couldn't bring herself to talk about it, ever, in her 89 years. I now realize that my mother suffered PTSD all her life as a result of her experiences. If ever a child had needed a CASA - an advocate and an adult who was on her side - it was my mother. I'm a past board member, and I know what CASA can accomplish. I cannot more forcefully endorse the work that CASAs, their supervisors, the office staff, and Executive Director Rebecca Tingle have done and will continue to do for foster kids in our county.
