When 12-year-old Mason entered foster care, he carried everything he owned in a black trash bag.
A few changes of clothes. A football. A worn photo of his younger sister.
Over the next several months, Mason met dozens of adults. Caseworkers, attorneys, counselors, teachers.
But one person kept showing up.
His CASA Advocate.
She checked in on him at school. She listened when he talked about missing his sister. She made sure the judge knew what mattered most to him.
One day, Mason asked, "Are you coming back next week?"
When she said yes, he smiled and replied, "Good. Most people don't."
Children in foster care need consistency. They need someone who stays.
That's why CASA exists.
