Congratulations to our Riverside County CASA of the Month, CASA Marla! Be inspired by CASA Marla’s journey with 15-year-old Kathi* 👉 https://buff.ly/sWEHPDm 

When 15-year-old Kathi was moved to a new foster placement this past May, the very final month of the school year, she faced the overwhelming challenge of changing homes, neighborhoods, and schools all at once. Kathi explicitly shared her hope to finish out the term in a place where she felt safe and comfortable, rather than navigating the stress of a brand-new school just weeks before summer break.

Knowing how important this continuity was for Kathi's education and well-being, CASA Marla immediately sprang into action. While Kathi's social worker and caregiver worked on long-term logistics, CASA Marla stepped in to drive Kathi to and from school multiple times a week.

🚗 Those car rides became an anchor. Through simple, everyday interactions during school drop-offs and pick-ups, CASA Marla provided a steady, caring presence. She offered encouragement when Kathi needed it most, proving to her that she had someone firmly in her corner.

Thanks to CASA Marla’s dedication, Kathi didn’t have to say an abrupt goodbye to her friends and was able to successfully finish the year at her preferred school. Marla ensured Kathi felt seen, valued, and empowered during a major crossroads in her life.

Please join us in celebrating CASA Marla as our Riverside County CASA of the Month for June 2026!
