🚨 New Blog Alert: The Power of Presence: Why Father and Male Role Models Matter

Today we’re honoring the impact fathers and positive male role models have on a child’s life. Our latest blog shares a touching reflection from one of our CASA supervisors about how her father’s steady presence shaped her and how that same truth shows up in our work every day.

Children don’t need perfect fathers.
They need present ones.

When children face some of the most difficult moments of their lives, having someone who listens, believes them, and stands beside them can make all the difference 💛

That is the heart behind Life Stories Child & Family Advocacy.
Serving children and families throughout Weld County, Life Stories provides advocacy, support, and hope for children impacted by abuse, neglect, and trauma. Their work changes lives every single day.

We're grateful for the leadership of Executive Director Lisa Drake, the passion and dedication of Fundraising & Development Manager Susan McKenzie, and the service of Board Member Marie Warren, along with the countless volunteers who make this mission possible 🙌

Through programs like CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), children navigating the court system have a consistent advocate by their side during some of life's most challenging circumstances. With a continued need for CASA volunteers, there are meaningful ways for our community to get involved and make a lasting impact.

Whether through volunteering, supporting events like Pull for Youth and the Superhero Run, or simply helping spread awareness, every effort helps create a brighter future for local children.

We are proud to spotlight an organization that reminds us what it means to show up for others. Because every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued 💛
