"Every May, we honor our Mothers for the compassion and love they have unselfishly provided. While we take the time to celebrate and reflect on the support that we sometimes take for granted, there are children struggling in the child welfare system without a caring mother or mother figure in their lives. For these children, there is no celebration on Mother's Day - only heartache as many of them have been separated from their family due to abuse and neglect. Now facing an overburdened system alone, they need someone to guide and support them during this challenging time.
"That someone is a CASA volunteer, a dedicated member of the community appointed by a Judge to speak up on behalf of a child's best interest. A CASA volunteer provides the stability and familiarity a child needs during their transitions thought the foster care system. That CASA often fills the role of a parental figure by providing much needed support and guidance.
"So on this Mother's Day, we hope you will join us in celebrating the CASA Volunteers in our community that continue to help lead our children to brighter futures. We are so grateful for all you do on behalf of these special children and we are blessed that you are part of our CASA Family. Happy Mother's Day!"
