WHY
GIVE TO Passaic County CASA, Inc?
We realize there are many worthly organizations
and noble causes out there. We also realize that you have a choice
when it comes to which ones you get involved with and support.
We hope you'll consider giving to Passaic County CASA, Inc. -
and hope we can give you a few reasons to do just that.
| OUR
CHILDREN: Children of all ages, races and
socio-economic backgrounds. Children with irresistible grins,
vivid imaginations and incredible potential. All of them sharing
one unfortunate commonality - each one has been a victim of
life-threatening abuse or neglect.
|
OUR
VOLUNTEERS: Busy would be an understatement.
They make dinner, entertain clients, drive carpool, walk the
dog, hit the gym, coach soccer, manage employees, take vacations
and watch reality television. Just like everybody else. What
sets them apart is that, despite their busy lives, they still
make time to volunteer as court-appointed advocates with our
program, making a direct impact on the lives of abused children.
|
OUR
NEED: Because
Passaic County CASA, Inc. is a non-profit organization your
donation is absolutely critical to the existence of our program.
We receive minimal government funding and we are not a United
Way agency.
|
|
HOW WILL MY DONATION MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Donations allow for the recruitment, training
and support of court appointed special advocate volunteers. These
volunteers will be assigned to the cases of children who have
been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect - serving
a critical role in ensuring that no child slips through the cracks
of an overburdened system. They'll ensure that each child is given
the rights and opportunities he or she deserves while in care.
They’ll act as the dedicated set of eyes and ears to a Family
Court Judge who will ultimately decide the permanent placement
for a child. Maybe most importantly, they’ll be a "constant"
in a child's life during this unstable, and often scary, time.
