FALL 2022 | LAKE OCONEE LIVING 85
I am for the child who lived in motels, cars
and shelters. The child who now stands in the
entryway of a group foster home. Clutching a
makeshift suitcase. A garbage bag filled with
everything he owns. That is the child I am for.
And because I am, he will be half as likely to
languish in foster care, and that much more likely
to find a safe, permanent home. I am a Court
Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer.
I am you.
Lift up a child’s voice. A child’s life.™
