Make a difference in the life of an abused child

More than 4,500 Alaskan children, victims of abuse and neglect, are in state or tribal custody. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) speak out to help these abused and neglected children. To a foster child adrift in the system, having a CASA volunteer advocate is more than a compass — it’s a lifeline.

A 5th grade girl was on my CASA caseload, along with her older and younger siblings.  Her wish was to take piano lessons, at least for the summer, so she’d have some music knowledge and skill before participating in 6th grade band or orchestra. Her foster parents were willing to drive her to the lessons, but couldn’t afford to pay for them.  I found a piano studio in Anchorage that was willing to take her for just the summer. Friends of Alaska CASA paid for her lessons, giving her a great start towards a future in playing the viola. Thank you!
