CASA IN - Pulaski County

Maren has just returned home to her mom after spending time in foster care. She is a bright, funny, and caring teenager who loves to swim and hang out with her friends. Maren performs well in school and is beginning to think about college. Her favorite vacation spot is Florida because of the ocean and sunshine. She enjoys having her nails done and dyeing her hair, and she is very talented at doing both herself. Both of her parents have struggled with addiction in the past, but they are now healthy and in recovery.

Meren has just returned home to her mother after spending time in foster care. They live in a very small house with Meren's grandmother, mother, brother, and baby sister. She shares a room with her baby sister, which makes it difficult for her to listen to music and podcasts or watch videos before bedtime. It also prevents her from completing her online schoolwork while her sister is napping. She wishes for a pair of Apple AirPods so that she can enjoy these activities without disturbing her baby sister and to help her focus on her schoolwork.
