“Anna is now 11 years old. She was diagnosed with a rare condition that does not allow her to feel physical pain. Her parents abandoned her when she was 4 years old and took her siblings with them. During that time she was placed in state custody and assigned an Advocate Volunteer from Williamson County CASA. Anna was in need of emergency surgery to amputate her hand. Because of the caring work and determination of the Advocate Volunteer who stepped in to coordinate the medical staff and the state, Anna’s thumb was amputated, but her hand was saved”.
We are grateful for the volunteers that continue to lookout for the best interest of the children we serve.
CASA provides crucial advocacy and support to children in need within the community. By focusing on each child's unique situation, we aim to provide a voice for those who may need it most. Through our dedicated team of volunteers, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of the children we serve. Together, we can create a brighter and more hopeful future for every child in our care.

Every day in this country, 1,900 children become victims of abuse or neglect, and four of them will die. Every day. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children is a network of nearly 1,000 community-based programs that recruit, train and support citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in courtrooms and communities. Volunteer advocates—empowered directly by the courts—offer judges the critical information they need to ensure that each child’s rights and needs are being attended to while in foster care.
Volunteers help children until they are placed in loving permanent homes. For many abused children, a CASA volunteer is the only constant adult presence in their lives.
Thank you to our partners….
