Devon (age 8) - On several occasions his father hit him so hard that he blacked out. In an interview with a caseworker at his school, Devon revealed that he would rather die than continue to stay in the house with his father and grandmother.
Child Advocates, Inc. mobilizes court appointed volunteers to break the vicious cycle of abuse. We speak up for infants & children who have been removed from their home due to severe abuse and neglect and ensure that they receive necessary advocacy and rehabilitative services. Once assigned to a child's case, our advocate volunteers individually assess each child's needs and make vital recommendations to the courts as to be best possible placement for the child at the end of foster care.
It costs Child Advocates an average of $1,700 to serve one child for a year and there are more than 4,800 children in our city that need volunteer advocates. Your donation directly determines how many children we can serve.
By participating, you are helping ensure abused children, like Devon, have a voice in the system and are guided to a safer environment where they can thrive.
