Story by Local CASA Staff:

"We had a case come to the attention of the CASA office in January 2025. Children came into care due to abuse. Mother escaped Human Trafficking and domestic violence. She worked hard on her DV services and worked with a DV advocate. Mom immediately got herself safe and started services that the agency asked of her, even engaging in some services on her own with the help of the CASAs direction. CASA helped mom build a resume and assisted her with her job search. Mother was able to obtain her own apartment and made space for her children so they could return home. CASA continued to advocate for mom to get unsupervised visitation due to how well she was doing. Mom made the appropriate lifestyle changes to better support her children and worked closely with her support systems. Her Children were returned to her shortly after starting unsupervised visits. Mom has stated several times that her goal was to break generational cycles. Mom shared with CASA she and her two children had a wonderful Christmas and she continues to do well. "
