Woodford CASA Volunteer has dedicated her life to helping kids in need

CASA Volunteer Erin Hall

Erin Hall has dedicated a lot of her life to helping others and making her world a better place.

She is a wife and mother of five adult children, including two whom she adopted. She serves as the Stable Moments Coordinator at Justin’s Place, a horse farm that provides trauma-informed therapy services for children.

And she is a CASA volunteer — someone who is matched with abused and neglected children, spends time with them each month and advocates for whatever they need.

“My Christian faith and the support of friends and family are the foundation of my life, and they continually inspire me to advocate for children in foster care with compassion, purpose and hope,” she said. “My time as a CASA volunteer has taught me that every child’s story is valuable — and often, it’s far more complex than we first realize. Those stories deserve to be heard, understood, and told.”

Hall has been named a CASA volunteer of the Month for CASA of Lexington’s seven-county region because of her ability to bring people together in pursuit of good outcomes for her CASA children.

“Erin does a great job building connections so that everyone can work toward what is best,” said Heather Porter, Hall’s Volunteer Manager in Woodford County. “She is great at developing relationships with children and understanding what’s going on in their lives.”

Hall said the 5 to 10 hours a month she gives to CASA is “worth every minute because the children and families we serve deserve hope and a future.”

“As a CASA volunteer, you have the unique ability to meet a child where they are and truly be a catalyst for change,” she said. “Your role goes beyond simply observing or reporting. You become a consistent, trusted adult in a child’s life — something many children in the foster care system may have never experienced. You’re uniquely positioned to advocate for what will help them not just survive, but thrive.”
