A Note From Our CEO
Dear Friends,
We are deeply grateful to our community for showing up in such a meaningful way to support our Night of Hope last month. Because of your generosity and presence, we were able to raise critical awareness for our mission, celebrate and honor our incredible volunteers, and generate vital funding to continue advocating for children in kinship and foster care. As we move into May, National Foster Care Month, we are reminded that this work is only possible because of a compassionate community like ours.
At Voices for Children, this month holds deep meaning. Every day, we see firsthand the impact that consistent, compassionate advocacy can have in a child’s life. Our CASA volunteers stand beside children who have experienced abuse or neglect, ensuring their voices are heard, and their best interests remain at the center of every decision. During a time that can often feel uncertain, these relationships provide stability, trust, and hope.
National Foster Care Month is also a time to acknowledge the broader network—foster parents, caseworkers, attorneys, donors, and community partners—who work tirelessly to create safe, nurturing environments where children can heal and thrive. It takes all of us to build a system that not only protects children but uplifts them.
This month, we invite you to continue supporting our work. Whether it’s becoming a CASA volunteer, spreading awareness, or supporting our mission, your involvement helps ensure that every child has someone in their corner.
Thank you for standing with us and for believing in a future where every child has the opportunity to grow up safe, supported, and heard.
