SNAPSHOT OF
HOPE:
Rita, a
Community Member who received CASA advocacy as a
child
Learn more about SCAN
through the people from our past, present and
future.
As long as she can
remember, Rita moved from house to house as her
mother's addiction to drugs left Rita with
little supervision or stability. As a 10-year
old, she came and went as she pleased, fended
for herself for meals and clothes, and used her
own survival instincts to face the world. When
her mother abandoned her on Christmas Eve, she
was a little girl all alone.
