What does the future look like to a child without hope?
Abused and neglected children come from every neighborhood, race, color, creed and socioeconomic background. They have but one thing in common–the adults they depend on are unwilling, or unable, to give them the love, guidance and support every child needs to become a productive adult.
We can’t change the past, but we can change the future.
For many such children in Harrison, Marion and Panola counties, the CASA volunteer may be the one adult who cares if they get to school on time, eat decent meals, and have a coat when it’s cold. The one who believes in what they can become. Because their future is our community’s future.
