Herman's alcoholic father has been ordered out of the home, but the family struggles to make ends meet. When Herman's CASA volunteer comes to visit, no one has to translate or explain the challenges that he faces... read more of Herman's story here.         Sandy, a CASA volunteer for 15 years, has helped many children find safe and permanent homes. Sandy believes that Hispanic/Latino children are best served by someone who understands their language and culture.

"Having the ability to speak Spanish is even more important when it comes to communicating with the parent of a child. It grants parents the capacity to fully understand the situation they are in. The family is put at ease because they know someone understands them. When parents are provided with a Spanish-speaking volunteer, they can more easily comply with what is expected of them, and by doing so, the child is more likely to remain with his family.”
