When I heard about the CASA program, I got cilhls. Tears streamed down my face as I was overwhelmed with emotion.My siblings and I endured horrible abuse together and separately in more than one foster home. Never, not once did anyone reach out to us. When we cried out for help, we were silenced.Society has paid a price for the abuse my brothers had to suffer. With 3 out of 4 of them spending many years in prison as adults.I will do anything and everything in my power to promote the CASA program. I thought about becoming an advocate, but it's just too close to my heart for me and I'm afraid I would not be objective or effective.I did write a book To Whom It May Concern: a memoir of a foster child . Our small local paper did a front page story on it so that I could bring awareness to the need of the CASA program in our county.A woman who is running for Probate Judge in our County, read the book and was very moved and in her words enlightened and surprised . I am crossing my fingers that she is elected as she is very exciting about welcoming CASA's into her court.What can I do besides money, which I will be donating on a local level as the program starts up?From one grown up ex-foster child to you .Thank you!!!
