This lady in the photo next to me is such an exceptional woman. Angela is a Advocate Manager for CASA of Central VA. CASA is a volunteer program for abused and neglected children. The CASA volunteers are assigned a child(ren) and makes recommendations to the court as to what is in the best interest of the child. Angela supports her volunteers, is available 24/7, and continues to fight the battle against abused and neglected children. Anyone who works in the human service field knows that it is an exhausting job. It is emotionally and mentally draining but also rewarding at the same time. Angela has been in the field for many years and while I know she must have her days of giving up and walking away; she gets up the next day and continues to advocate for something she believes in. Perhaps if we had more people like her then child abuse and neglect wouldn't be as common as it is today. On behalf of all the abused and neglected children in this country I thank her for her continued efforts and the work she does.
