Tuesday, September 10, 2013

McDowell said that the CASA bears are special because "It's so nice to give the children something brand new, just for them, and the bears are a great ice-breaker." Milbauer, who reports that RNA has been donating the bears for more than nine years, concurred, saying, "They give children a sense of comfort and stability while they go through difficult transitions."
