My name is Vickie McIntyre. I was born and raised in Port Arthur, TX. I have been married to my husband Lonnie for 20 years and we have 21 year old twin boys. I graduated from Prairie View A & M University with a BSN in 1993. I am the Nursing Supervisor for Jefferson County Public Health Department in Port Arthur, TX, where I have worked for the past 25 years. I have wanted to be a CASA volunteer for a very long time so when the opportunity presented itself  I was overjoyed. I love God and I try to let HIS light shine in all that I do. My favorite times are times with my family, they are my world.  I have an overwhelming passion for children and their well-being,  and I have enjoyed every minute of volunteering. It's one of the best feelings in the world to close on a case knowing in your heart that children are safe, that they are being cared for and nurtured properly in a happy home.  Being a CASA volunteer has made me a better person. I thought my heart had all the love that it could hold until I get a new case and the love just keeps on growing! I am truly blessed and honored to be a CASA volunteer!
