More than 2000 Dallas County children are in foster care on
any given day. These children are victims of the most severe forms of
abuse or neglect, and were removed from their homes because it simply
wasn't safe to stay. Now they are shuffled from foster home to foster
home, waiting for the courts to decide when - or if - it will ever be
safe to go home. In an overburdened system where resources are scarce
and caseloads are overwhelming, it's easy for little things to fall between
the cracks.
Dallas CASA is the only non-profit agency authorized to advocate
for the best interests of these child victims. CASA volunteers hold dearly
the belief that there are no hopeless children, only children who have
yet to experience hope. They work with the children, their families, the
courts and the child welfare system to help find the children safe, permanent
homes as quickly as possible. CASA volunteers are everyday people just
like you. They are teachers, retirees, stockbrokers, construction workers
and stay-at-home moms. The only special background or equipment they have
is the heart to care for the most vulnerable children in our community,
and the determination to do something about it.
