Brittney Sequichie has an incredible testimony, and she uses her own experiences to connect with the children she serves in such a meaningful way. She shows up consistently, listens with compassion, and advocates big for her CASA kids while offering them encouragement, understanding, and hope during their time in care.

We are so grateful for the heart, dedication, and perspective Brittney brings to her role as a CASA Volunteer. Thank you, Brittney, for showing up, speaking up, and reminding your kids that they are seen, heard, and valued. 💚

🌟Advocate Spotlight🌟

For nearly two decades, husband and wife team Ron and Rosie Durbin have balanced work, family, continuing education, and CASA service all while consistently showing up with compassion and dedication for the children they serve.

Ron began his CASA journey in Florida about 16 years ago. Ron shared, “Being a CASA has helped me grow emotionally and has greatly increased my empathy for those less fortunate than I.” As an engineer, Ron approaches each situation as a problem to be solved, while relying on Rosie for the deeper insights that come from her years of experience as a nurse and public health professional.

Rosie said, “Working together with shared insights and somewhat different perspectives gives us cohesiveness and optimizes our team effectiveness.”

Together, Ron and Rosie bring a powerful combination for heart, experience, and perspective to the table.💙 We are grateful for Advocates like them who remind us that making a difference doesn't have to mean doing it alone.

Thank you to the Durbin's for your years of advocating for children!
