Zanna has been on the board supporting our program for a couple of years and finally decided to attend training and take a case this year. She is so busy, with schooling and work and all of her other volunteer/ community roles. We are so thankful to have her with our program.

Happy Birthday to Volunteer Rachel Wickliffe.

Rachel has been a volunteer with us for two years and advocated for the same little girl. Some of our cases take a long time until a child is able to be in a safe permanent home. Having a consistent CASA is reassuring to them and ensures that someone who really knows them is fighting for their best interest.

It is not just the physical safety of families that are affected by Domestic Violence. Children who feel unsafe in their home are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, struggle with behaviors and learning in school, and, fall victim to Domestic Violence as adults.

CASA's can ensure that the needs of these children are being met.

Often children are only removed from these situations if parents are arrested, and even if the offending parent is taken to jail, it takes several instances of DV for the victims to seek help, or to leave. This leaves children to witness repeated acts of violence in the place they should feel safest of all.

Last week, we attended the 2026 Annual State CASA Conference in Fort Wayne. So thankful for such an amazing State Office who work so hard to bring this event every year. We had some truly inspirational speakers and made some great connections.
