donate to the let a kid be a kid fund
All kids just want to be kids. Children in foster care are no exception.
Every child served by Savannah/Chatham County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) has experienced abuse and neglect and has been placed in foster care. Often, they are living in an unfamiliar place and going to a new school. They may have to make new friends or adjust to a new family. Through no fault of their own, their entire life has been turned upside down.
All kids just want to be kids. Children in foster care are no exception. They don't want to be "the foster kid." They don't want to be asked why their family looks different, they want to be asked what sports they play or what is their favorite subject at school. They don't want you to know about the abuse and trauma they experienced, they want you to know about their favorite video game or how excited they are for their ballet recital or summer camp.
At Savannah/Chatham CASA, we believe that children in foster care deserve to have experiences like every other kid. When they participate in pro-social activities, celebrate birthdays and holidays, or shop for new clothing, they feel like every other kid and not just the "foster kid." For this reason, we started our "Let a Kid be a Kid" fund which pays for sports and club fees, uniforms, equipment, and other "kid stuff".
Please consider making a donation and helping our kids be kids. Then, the next time someone asks "What do you do for fun?", they will have a really great answer!

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORI have two active sons. Firdawek is a red belt in Taekwondo and Tek is an awesome basketball player. I love seeing them make new friends and learn new skills. But most of all, I love watching their confidence grow.
Tek and Firdawek are fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in these activities and I believe every child should get the same chance to be kids just like them. So in honor of my two sons, I'm donating to the Let a Kid be a Kid fund. I want every child in foster care to have the chance to score the winning point or break a board with their foot. I want their confidence to grow with every new skill they learn. Will you join with me and donate to honor a child in your life? Together, let's change the stories of children in foster care. Thank you for your support, Kate Blair, Executive Director of Savannah/Chatham CASA |
