Make a difference in the life of an abused child or youth

More than 3,000 Alaskan children, victims of abuse and neglect, are in State or Tribal care.  Now in our 30th year, FACC offers a wide range of support to State and Tribal child and youth advocates, including Alaska’s volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) and the State CASA Program.   To Alaska’s children and youth in care, having strong advocacy and needed supports can make all the difference between being adrift in the system and finding a lifeline.

A 5th grade girl was on my CASA caseload, along with her older and younger siblings.  Her wish was to take piano lessons, at least for the summer, so she’d have some music knowledge and skill before participating in 6th grade band or orchestra. Her foster parents were willing to drive her to the lessons, but couldn’t afford to pay for them.  I found a piano studio in Anchorage that was willing to take her for just the summer. Friends of Alaska’s Children in Care paid for her lessons, giving her a great start towards a future in playing the viola. Thank you!
