Words from the Director

As we move through the seasons of life, one truth remains clear: family and meaningful connections are at the heart of who we are. In the midst of our busy lives, it’s often the simple, shared moments—laughing around the dinner table, reading a bedtime story, or taking a walk together—that become the cherished memories we hold onto for years to come.

For children, especially those in foster care, these moments of connection are more than just comforting—they are essential. Positive memories help build a sense of belonging, resilience, and hope. They remind children that they are loved, valued, and never alone, no matter what challenges they may face.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or someone who supports families from afar, thank you for being part of a community that believes every child deserves a chance to make joyful, lasting memories.

Let’s continue to create those moments—big or small—that children will carry in their hearts for a lifetime. Please contact the CASA of West CenLA staff if you would like information on our mission.
