The talented person who writes our monthly advocate spotlight deserves to be spotlighted herself. And so, it is a pleasure to introduce you, on the rare chance you haven't already met her, to Sarah Mule'.
While Sarah is a dedicated member of CASA's staff (she wears many hats), she is also a passionate CASA volunteer advocate! If you haven’t spoken to Sarah or read her piece “Swatting flies and Healing Hearts” then you might not know the passion she exudes for CASA’s mission. You can actually feel how much she cares for children who just need a break from the trauma that they’ve unnervingly endured. To be listened to, supported, and made to feel like they matter, is a gift that the staff and the volunteers... of which Sarah is both... directly provide these kids.
Her first case was one she asked to be on. After meeting the child as a staff member she came back to the office and asked to be his advocate. After a successful outcome of safety and stability she asked to be an advocate for a second time. Although this case is proving entirely different, she feels confident again that this child will get the support she needs to ultimately become an independent and successful part of our community.
“Every child deserves this chance,” says Sarah. “And I’m so grateful every day to work for an organization committed to making sure each child in our community has that”.
Quite simply... you are the best Sarah. And we are grateful for you. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of children who need it the most.
