🍁 This Thanksgiving, we are deeply grateful for our dedicated volunteers, donors, and supporters — your commitment ensures that children in foster care have a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) by their side: a caring adult who helps them grow, heal, and thrive.

When brothers Eli and Jonah entered foster care, they were scared, quiet, and unsure of what came next. Removed from a home marked by instability, they kept to themselves — until CASA volunteer Mark came into their lives.

Mark began visiting regularly, never pushing, just showing up with patience and kindness. One fall afternoon, he took the boys to a pumpkin patch — a first for both of them. At first, they stayed close, hesitant and wide-eyed. But soon, they were laughing, racing through the corn maze, climbing hay bales, and searching for the perfect pumpkin. That day marked a turning point. Eli and Jonah began opening up, greeting Mark with excited smiles.

Because of CASA Mark — and because of you — these brothers are discovering what every child deserves — a chance to feel safe, to laugh out loud, and experience the joy of childhood.
