Helping
CASA NOLA and Displaced Children
We received the following email request from CASA New
Orleans on November 10. On behalf of the contributors to the Renew
New Orleans Foundation, we were privileged to honor their request:
Subject: Displaced Children
Hi, I am the Executive Director of the Court Appointed Special Advocates
program in New Orleans (CASA New Orleans). We coordinate volunteer
advocacy services for abused and neglected children in Orleans Parish
Juvenile Court. Before Hurricane Katrina, our children were in foster
care placements throughout New Orleans and the surrounding area. After
Katrina, the children have been displaced around the country and the
judges who preside over their cases want to reach out to them. Soon,
we will be sending a letter to each displaced foster child from Orleans
Parish and would like to include a Renew New Orleans bracelet to lift
their spirits. We would like to request a donation of 500 bracelets
for these New Orleans children. Please contact me at your earliest
convenience and thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Amanda Hammack
Executive Director
CASA New Orleans
