Dear Friends of CASA
Dear Friends of CASA,During this wonderful holiday season we are blessed to be surrounded by family. Unfortunately many abused and neglected children will not experience such joy. As friends of CASA, we know the wonderful work that the advocates do to help abuse and neglected children have safe and permanent homes. Working first hand with a CASA volunteer I have seen the dedication that these volunteers give to these children. Our oldest daughter, Summer, went into foster care at four months old and five years later she was adopted into our family. Summer was blessed with a CASA volunteer for 5 years until she became a permanent part of our family.
Summer’s CASA volunteer not only went to court hearings, but also supported our entire family. Many times the social worker was not available, but the CASA volunteer always returned my phone calls. Without this organization, Summer’s life could have been totally different. I will always be grateful to CASA.
Being involved with CASA those five years and now volunteering as an auxiliary member, I witness their dedication to changing the lives of abused and neglected children in our community. This organization relies on donations to have the resources to keep supporting these children. My husband and I are Angel Roll members. We have promised to donate to CASA for 5 years. Please consider this gift of giving to abused and neglected children. Any amount will help.
Sincerely,
Sherry Paull
