HELP ENSURE A FOSTER CHILD GETS ALL THE SUPPORT THEY NEED.
We’ve made an Emergency Fund available for CASAs to ensure youth’s urgent needs are met, from groceries and essentials, to books or cell phones during the pandemic.
$20,000 - Ensure SFCASA can maintain all of its support to our dedicated volunteers and the more than 300 foster children relying on them.
$10,000 - Support the educational needs of 10 youth. CASAs are on the phone every day making sure youth are still on track to graduate high school and have what they need to complete work at home, supported by our staff Educational Advocacy Specialist.
$5,000 - Ensure a youth in foster care will continue to have a CASA. With parent-child and social worker visits on hold during the crisis, the volunteer advocate is likely to be the only trusted adult the child can rely on.
$2,500 - Provide staffing support and resources for an advocate to support a youth's entire team. A great aunt, who this week has three young boys in her home full time, has two CASA volunteers supporting her through the challenges.
$1,000 - Ensure a foster child’s health needs don’t fall through the cracks – including securing phone appointments and ensuring supplies of medications.
$500 - Ensure foster youth have the support to communicate with family members - parents and siblings - during this time of isolation and beyond.
$250 - Update information online with rapidly changing resources to support our advocates work in ensuring safety and stability for youth.
$100 - Provide an Amazon gift card to order essentials during the crisis.
$50 - Send a customized care package to a youth, letting them know we care even if we cannot visit in person.
