Behind every statistic is a newborn who entered the world facing challenges they didn’t choose.
Each year in the United States, an estimated 300,000 (1 in 12) babies are exposed to substances before birth, including alcohol, opioids, ma*****na, and co***ne.
These babies aren't born with a choice. They need care, compassion, stability, and people willing to advocate for their best interests. This is why CASA matters. Every child deserves someone in their corner even from their very first days of life. Learn how you can help at www.casaofappalachianmtns.org
