CASA Volunteer Creates Handmade Toys
A Little Piece of Happy
About seven years ago, Faultersack, 72, became a volunteer with Child Advocates San Antonio, or CASA. The group pairs court-appointed, trained volunteers with children in the state’s foster care system. The adults make sure the children’s medical, legal and economic needs are met and provide a consistent and caring presence in their lives. They also take them to fun activities.
Faultersack decided to take his volunteer work a step further. He makes 35 or more wooden toys a year that are given to CASA kids at Christmas.
“My toys are just a little piece of happy,” he said. -Express News
Mr. Faultersack has been an Advocate for seven years now and has been making toys for our CASA children for five years. He creates his toys in a small shed in his backyard and has impacted the lives of dozens of foster children through his dedication. Thank you, John, for your hard work for, and compassion towards, Bexar County's foster children. We are all grateful for your example.
