About CASA of Humboldt Imagine you are a child who finds yourself in court; the victim of abuse or neglect... in the company of a judge, attorneys, social workers... all strangers. You are scared; your world has been turned upside down. You are alone. This is the reality abused children face all the time. Far too many children have never slept in a warm bed, had clean clothes to wear, nutritious food to eat, or someone to hug. That's where CASA comes in. They provide one-to-one advocacy to help prevent children from "falling through the cracks." CASA's trained volunteers advocate for abused children in court, assuring that they are placed in safe, nurturing homes where they will flourish. We speak for children who would otherwise have no voice, giving unconditional love, ensuring that each child receives the needed services to heal. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) speaks for children in court because all children have a right to live in a safe, healthy and secure environment. Please join CASA of Humboldt, in partnership with Soroptimist International of Arcata, in celebrating their first annual talent show, Evening of Talent. The goal of this fundraiser is to raise awareness of the needs of many in our area. The money raised at this event will all stay local to benefit CASA and numerous other projects supported by Arcata Soroptimists. Visit the CASA Website: www.humboldtcasa.org |
