For Six Years...

Theo was in the foster care system.

Six years of instability.
Six years of uncertainty.
Six years of not knowing what the future holds.

You care about children stuck in the foster system. You know the difference one supportive person can mean in the life of a child experiencing such unpredictability. Someone like Theo’s CASA volunteer Laura.

You give foster children hope through the advocacy of a CASA volunteer, who is a consistent person in a time of great change. Theo says of Laura, “For me, you’ve been a rock, always offering your support and advice , especially during difficult times.”

Laura always kept Theo’s best interest at heart, building a trusting relationship with an overwhelmed and anxious teenage boy, keeping his safety and well-being as her primary focus.

You can imagine how hard it would be to essentially grow up in foster care with few connections. But Laura brought something different into Theo’s life. He says, “you go out of your way to check in on everyone, making everyone feel loved and cares. Your loving nature creates a sense of comfort and peace, and it’s clear that you genuinely want the best for everyone.”

Laura always kept Theo’s best interest at heart, building a trusting relationship with an overwhelmed and anxious pre-teen boy, keeping his safety and well-being as her primary focus. Now, he’s able to take his first steps into adulthood by graduating from high school, something few foster children have the support/opportunity to accomplish.

Theo thanks CASA volunteer Laura by saying: “You’re the type of person who makes you feel like you can take on anything, just by being in your corner. I love you.”
