Learn about Franzis, a young adult served by the CASA program
“Drawing, painting, and even small doodling helps me concentrate on my work rather than whatever anxiety was in my head. The strength I had for myself at a young age continued to help me pursue my love for learning, and thrive at a public school system that I would have long ago never cared about. The knowledge and experiences given to me during my transition as a foster child, gave me the foundations I desperately needed to become a young successful adult. The fact of the matter was that my art was the only thing I could really control in my life, so I made sure it was something that nobody could take from me.”

Q & A with Franzis
What do you like most best about having a CASA?
“She listens to me and always has a plan to make my life better in one way or the other. My CASA cares about me and my well being and makes me want to be better in life”
If you could change one thing about having a CASA, what would it be?
“Nothing, my CASA is perfect the way she is”
What is your favorite thing to do with your CASA?
“It’s hard to decide, as we always do something new together. In anything, my favorite moment was when a couple years ago she taught me how to cook spaghetti for the first time and how to make healthy budgets for grocery shopping!”
Three words to describe your CASA:
“Pleasant, compassionate and trustworthy”
Is there anything else you want to share about your experience with CASA?
“CASA has helped me grow as a young adult and make better life choices with the support and guidance they’ve given over the years. Thank you for giving me and other children a voice to be heard in court and giving us counsel with every visit”
