“Just knowing that my CASA is a resource to rely on was such a relief. Youth in foster care often forget that they matter, and often don’t believe it. The support from my CASA that I found most helpful included opening a bank account, finding housing, learning how to handle finances, understanding my basic needs, meeting with advisors, grocery shopping, and more. I knew that I could always count on my CASA for the support I needed.”
