Featured CASA Volunteer Brings Much to Role
Meet Debbie Koharik, a CASA Volunteer of almost 2 years. After becoming an empty nester and moving to Ohio in 2019, Debbie sought a volunteer opportunity that would allow her to work with kids.
As a former English professor and English as a second language teacher, Debbie’s creativity, patience and empathy met immediately in her role as a CASA Volunteer. From navigating complex medical and mental health issues, to coordinating driver’s ed and assisting with applications to colleges, Debbie has gone above and beyond for her kids.
At the Friends of Children Breakfast, you’ll see how Debbie became a constant for sisters Liz, Anna and Maddy. With her unfailing advocacy, the girls have gone from abuse, neglect and uncertainty to just getting to be teens.
