Each month, CASA of East Tennessee shines a spotlight on a particular volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their service of Knox County children. Please join us in recognizing Amy King!
Amy shared her kind, loving heart for this work with us,
"I wanted to find a way to continue to stay actively involved in advocating for all children, especially abused and neglected children. My husband and I fostered children in our home for over 10 years and I have taught children for many years. These times with the children and the memories with the children have been impactful in our lives. All children need a safe place were they feel loved, cared for, and learn to feel valued."
We asked Amy what she enjoys about this work and she replied,
"I have enjoyed meeting and working with all the people involved with the CASA cases especially the children, birth families, and all the CASA supervisors. I am always amazed how workers come together and work for the good of the children and strive to find what is best for the specific child and his/her situation. "
Amy loves spending time with her family and is looking forward to sharing Christmas traditions with her children and grandson. She is also looking forward to celebrating 30 years of marriage with her husband, Jody, this spring.
We are so grateful for you Amy!
