Dr. Magdalena Battles
Dr. Magdalena Battles knows from personal experience how hard some foster children’s lives can be. As a former foster mom and now mother to three kids herself, Dr. Battles realizes how important it is to have caring CASA volunteers who speak up for their best interests, monitor their cases, visit their foster homes and ensure they are getting the best care possible.
“Our local foster children need our support. People don’t realize that we have many children in foster care right here in Tarrant County,” Dr. Battles says. “We have a duty to help these children who did not choose their life situation.”
As a childhood development professional with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Battles understands that it takes a village to raise a child. Even if you can’t serve CASA of Tarrant County as an advocate, there are several other avenues where you can still support its mission. Whether you volunteer, donate or participate in its upcoming Superhero Run, even the smallest actions can make a big difference in vulnerable children’s lives.
