It’s uncomfortable to think about, but child abuse happens in our small communities.
It’s easy to believe.. “that doesn’t happen here.”
But the truth is- It does!
There are children in Dallam, Hartley, Sherman, and Moore counties who go to bed feeling unsafe. Children carrying burdens no child should ever have to carry. Children who don’t have a consistent adult showing up, standing up, and speaking up just for them.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we want to remind everyone:If you suspect abuse or neglect, report it. Trust your instincts! It is always better to be wrong than to stay silent.
At CASA 69, we advocate for children who have already experienced abuse and neglect, but we can’t do it alone!
We urgently need:
🔹 Male volunteers to mentor and support young boys
🔹 Spanish speaking volunteers to help ensure every child and family has a voice
Your time, your presence, your voice—it matters more than you know.
Be the reason a child feels seen, heard, and protected. You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to care. One consistent, caring adult can change a child’s entire story.
