Katie Rosenstein's Story
It's very much a wonder to me what foster children did years ago when they
didn't have CASAs. I know that I wouldn't have survived court…without Kerry, my
CASA volunteer. Kerry was and still is my security. She is the one I go to when
I am having problems. She never minded it. She would just talk me through it
and tell me how wonderful and amazing I am, giving me smiles and encouraging me
to start my dreams and face the world. Seven out of 13 children, neglected and
abused, get a CASA. But all 13 need a CASA.
Kids like me, we need compliments and smiles to help us through the hard times.
We need guidance and support. All 13 of us. I just registered as an advice
giver at a website for abused or hurt teens. I read their stories and see how
they are hurt and need help. Then I try to give them advice in a way they will
understand. I learned to do that from Kerry. And for that, I am very thankful.
