Gay and Lesbian Fund for Dallas This week begins a month-long effort to raise funds to help Dallas Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) send children to summer camp this year.
CASA volunteers work directly to support children in foster care by “advocating for the well-being of children and safe homes in which they can thrive,” GLFD said. the press release said, adding that Dallas CASA has been selected as one of the 2024 GLFD beneficiaries. .
The one-week overnight camp costs about $600 per child, and GLFD hopes to raise $12,000 by May 31 to send 20 children to camp this summer.

According to the Dallas CASA websiteCASA was founded in 1977 by a Seattle judge, and CASA volunteers “protect children, restore their childhoods, and help children who have been victims of abuse and neglect reach their full potential.” I am proposing that.
The website goes on to say, “The judge appointed Dallas CASA volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children and help these children obtain safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. Dallas CASA exists to give abused and neglected children in shelters the chance to become successful adults, and with the help of caring advocates, the cycle of abuse and neglect can be broken. I guess.”
“They got to be kids that week instead of worrying about their parents and other challenges in life,” one Dallas CASA volunteer told GLFD.
