CASA Volunteer Emily* was appointed by the judge to advocate for 10-year-old Tyler and 6-year-old Kate. Emily is creative, patient and nurturing.

Emily visited Tyler and Kate separately to ensure each child had a chance to have her undivided attention.

When Emily visited Tyler, they spent time outside and talked about his feelings while they colored together. Emily spent her visits with Kate playing games and offered support when she struggled to make friends at school.

CASA Volunteer Kari* was appointed by the judge to advocate for 5-year-old Josie. Kari is warm, sensitive and a good listener.



As foster homes changed, Kari continued to be there for Josie. They spent time together playing sports outside and riding bikes around the neighborhood.

CASA volunteers are caring adults in our community who advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect through regular visits and monthly reports to the judge. These reports give judges a more comprehensive understanding of the child and important information on their safety and well-being.

Emily and Kari consistently visited with their CASA children and advocated for each child’s needs, consistent sibling interaction, and time with their mother.

These are not the only children who need CASA volunteers to advocate for their best interests. This #GivingTuesday, please help us provide a CASA volunteer for more children in need in Brown County. 

P.S. Stay tuned later today for Part Three of Tyler, Kate, and Josie’s story.
