Dear Friends of CASA,
“A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” was one of the years’ most popular movies and brought to mind one of my favorite Fred Rogers quotes: “anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me.”
Adopting Mr. Rogers’ perspective, the children CASA of Santa Barbara County served in 2019 had many, many heroes. And those heroes achieved new heights, collectively reaching a higher percentage of child victims placed in protective care than ever before in the agency’s history.
On the last day of the fiscal year, CASA of Santa Barbara County was serving 100% of our community’s child victims of abuse and neglect who were then living in substitute care placements, which means children residing in protective care somewhere other than home. We had a day when children were brought into the care of the court in the morning, and had a CASA volunteer assigned to them that afternoon.
And who are the heroes making this happen? The 285 CASA volunteers assigned to serve children in 2019 made all the difference in the lives of the youngest and most vulnerable among us. The extraordinary members of our community who stand up for children with their voices are the reasons we were able to have a day with no children waiting for advocacy.
I wish I could say that we were able to maintain it, but due to a spike in cases in the summer, we are once again working to serve every child. But we know the difference it makes, so we continue our work with determination.
Putting our children first by providing professional staff who train and support our volunteer advocates would not be possible without the generous support of the broader community. To each individual and organization who has contributed the resources necessary to expand and sustain CASA’s program capacity, we owe you enormous gratitude. Your generosity has supported our growth and we intend to continue to work hard so that no child victim is left to walk this frightening and uncertain path alone.
Yours in advocacy,
Kim Colby Davis
Executive Director
