Yankee Tickets for Ericka who loves baseball

Posted Aug 6, 2019
Ericka is apart of a special group of young adults that we have served as their CASA advocates at some point, if not still working with them while in care. They are a cohort that we've trained and supervised to facilitate panel presentations around the city ( and even state) to share their stories of having been in the foster care system in hopes of creating change and reform. They would like to try and attend a game as a group as a community builder either on 8/16 and 8/30.

Ericka is 28 years old and lives in NY

Ericka has been working with CASA for many years and even though she is out of care CASA still works closely with Ericka and her family to ensure her success post-care. Ericka was adopted by her parents while in care and has been flourishing. She graduated high school and soon after started to attend SUNY for journalism. She realized reporting is her passion in life and has started to write articles and shoot reporting videos to develop her skills. She is even starting to get assigned work! Ericka just joined the CASA Youth Leadership Council to use her skills of public speaking to reform the system.

Awesome Human grants the wish for Ericka! Thanks Awesome Human.

"George Steinbrenner said, “Surround yourself with amazingly intelligent men & women. The people I work with not only are smarter than I am, possessing both intellectual & emotional intelligence, but also share determination to succeed. I will not make an important decision without them.” Look at the others with you at the game. You are all the intelligent men & women George spoke about. Continue making positive changes in your lives & in the universe. Enjoy the game & of course…Go Yanks!! – “T”"
