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. This month, we would like to offer a round of applause to Damaris Figueroa!
Damaris told us that she was attracted to CASA because it allows everyday people like her to be a part of a bigger process simply by giving some of their time and heart.
We asked her what she enjoys about being a CASA and she said, "I've enjoyed a lot of things but the one that resonates the most with me is getting to see a small part someone's recovery and growth. The changes the clients go through is inspiring."
Damaris loves spending time with her children and grandchildren. After living in Miami and Denver, Damaris moved to Knoxville 20 years ago. She is currently living with her daughter as she searches for her new dream home.
Thank you Damaris!
