 833-4-VALDEZ is the number. Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez, and hour number two is coming up right now. Children who have experienced abuse or neglect face a frightening, profound unknown. Courtrooms, foster care, new schools. No child should face these alone. Trained and supported, court-appointed special advocates or CASA volunteers advocate in court on behalf of these children. They stay with each child until the case is closed and the child is in a safe, permanent home. Volunteers make a life-changing difference
