Court Appointed Special Advocates
http://www.casaforchildren.org
CASA Volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children in foster care, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home.
CASA Volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused and neglected children, their CASA Volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their life, as social workers, attorneys and judges can change throughout the life of the case.
Last year, more than 68,000 CASA volunteers served more than 240,000 abused and neglected children through 1,018 program offices.

Locks of Love
Hair Donations
http://www.locksoflove.org
Locks of Love provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United
States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. They meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prostheses. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.
10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.
Hair must be in a ponytail or braid before it is cut.
Hair must be clean and completely dry before it is mailed in.
Place the ponytail or braid inside of a plastic bag, and then inside of a padded envelope. All hair donations must be mailed to Locks of Love.
My Sister's Place
Families are stronger when they are together, which helps in the healing process. By staying at a Ronald McDonald House, parents also can better communicate with their child’s medical team and keep up with complicated treatment plans when needed.
