Your meaningful gift will promise a brighter future for Jamie and far too many other children just like her. They are counting on you.

Jamie entered foster care 1 month ago after admitting to her teacher she had been repeatedly sexually assaulted by a family member. Jamie needed help, she was scared and had nowhere to turn. She was removed from her family home and has since been living in a group home for teens. Now, Jamie is left wondering who she can trust and who will look out for her.

Your donation today gives Jamie the answer she needs — a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer she can count on to advocate for her best interests until she reaches a safe and permanent home. Will you help her?

Children like Jamie enter the foster care system through no fault of their own, but their lives are changed forever. Children are often overwhelmed by feelings of confusion and shame. They face myriad challenges: the trauma of abuse, the stress of family separation, the uncertainty of the future, and more. They feel alone and unheard, questioning if they matter to anyone at all.

You can lighten this heavy burden for a child carrying so much.

For just $12.50 a day, $375 a month, or $4,500 a year, you can ensure that abused and neglected children like Jamie have their needs met with urgency and compassion. Give them a CASA volunteer who will stand next to them and ensure their voices are heard. Give them an advocate who will help them make sense of the confusing world around them.

Jamie is one of more than 350,000 children living in foster care in the United States and one of the nearly 3,000 children in New Jersey’s foster system. These children, like Jamie, can remain in care for years.

I know you believe that every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued no matter their family circumstances. I know you want to ensure children like Jamie have a CASA volunteer on their side to count on as soon as they enter the foster care system. This is only possible through your generous support.

Please give your most generous gift today and provide advocacy support for a child who urgently needs it.
