Daniel Torres’ CASA Sacramento Fundraiser

Daniel loves with his whole heart. He spent his vacation at Homeboy Industries, visiting the largest gang intervention program in the United States.  He was the youngest in the room for morning meeting and prayer and was able to take in the “thought of the day.” He listened to all the stories with intent. 

Daniel has helped out at the Fishers of Men unhoused ministry with his grandma and dad- and he’s quick to lend a hand to anyone in need.  He loves being a youth ambassador for CASA, and shows up whenever he is needed.  Daniel cares deeply for the foster youth that are being served in our community and can tell you all about it.  If you donate to anyone this Big Day of Giving, I know it will mean a lot to him to add to his donations! ♥️

CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASAs are volunteers of all backgrounds who make a commitment to advocate for the needs of the child or sibling group in foster care with whom they are matched. A CASA gets to know a child’s situation, communicates with professionals on the case, and makes sure the child’s needs are being met.

Over time, a CASA often becomes the most consistent person in a child’s life. At regular court hearings required for all children in foster care, our CASAs report on the children’s progress and needs, which is essential for judges to make the best decisions for their futures.

At any given time, CASA Sacramento is serving about 15% of the children in foster care in Sacramento County. That leaves hundreds of kids in the system without a consistent, caring adult to advocate for their needs. 

Our Big Day of Giving goal is to raise $100,000 and match every child on our wait list with their own CASA Volunteer. Your donation will help CASA Volunteers give foster youth the support they need to spread their wings and soar.
