During last week's Día de los Muertos celebrations, our youth and CASA Volunteers came together to honor their loved ones by decorating personalized frames. ?? Led by our Lived Experience CASA Specialist, Angelina Rodriguez,?this activity allowed our youth to express their love through art, pay tribute to those who have passed, and experience a moment of healing and connection. ?? “This frame is dedicated to my grandparents. I remember my mom used to set up our ofrenda every year for Dia De Los Muertos with their pictures and their favorite things. I’m going to put their picture in it.” - Sara* ?? *An alias was used to preserve the privacy of the child. #NonProfit #FosterYouth #FosterCare #DiadelosMuertos
