Today we’re celebrating a recent Volunteer of the Month, Renee Kariv! She’s been an advocate since 2000 and has worked on over 15 cases, helping more than 50 children across Houston. We are in awe of her dedication and passion as an advocate! 👏🎉

The “why” for one of our longtime advocates, Kim Carter! Since 2010, she has worked on eleven cases and advocated for 16 children. You can be part of this meaningful work too by becoming an advocate: https://lnkd.in/gcf326sz

Congrats to our newly sworn-in advocates!! 🎊🎈 They have stepped up to give a voice to the best interests of children in the foster care system. We are so excited to see the wonderful difference they will make for children in Houston!

Meet Brenda Jones! Brenda was our Rookie of the Year in 2023. She has gone above and beyond in her advocacy for two baby girls who came into foster care when they were just a few months old. She completes all of the advocate duties, but what really sets her apart is her ability to testify in the courtroom where life-altering decisions are being made about these children.

Hooray for our newest advocates! They finished their volunteer training at the end of April and now will begin working with a child in the foster care system, advocating for their best interests.

We’re a little overdue to recognize one of our outstanding volunteers! Kim Carter was our March Volunteer of the Month. We are so grateful for her commitment and advocacy since 2010! She has truly made a difference in the lives of countless children. 💗
