Like you, I’ve seen on the news that child abuse is on the rise. We are facing a crisis in the foster care system. Without intervention, the effects of child abuse and neglect can continue to last a lifetime, such as:
- Higher Incarceration Rates
- Teenage Pregnancy
- Homelessness
- Substance Abuse
- Poor Medical/Mental Health
But because of you, they have hope. You are their superhero.
Our Court Appointed Special Advocates make a world of difference in the life of an abused child. They listen, care, and spend time with each child, and are a consistent voice whose purpose is to help and advocate during a difficult time. On average, children with a CASA volunteer:
- Spend 5 FEWER MONTHS in foster care, compared to those without a CASA
- Are more likely to find a permanent home and be placed with family, and
- Have better educational outcomes and receive more therapeutic services.
Every gift we receive is critical to our mission - to advocate for children that have been abused and neglected in our community.
Let’s fight for justice, together.
