Community: Casa of San Mateo - Advocates for Children
http://www.casaofsanmateo.org/donate
What We Do:
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of San Mateo County partners caring adults with children who have come under the court's protection because their parents can't or won't take care of them.
Navigating the System Alone
Imagine you’ve been removed from the custody of your parents, not because of something you’ve done, but because of something awful—an alcoholic mother who can’t put food on the table for days in a row, or a father whose threats become punches.
You’re funneled into an intimidating court system filled with strangers. There’s no one to provide the love, support, and guidance you need. From now on, you’ll be lonely and scared and will have no consistent, caring adult in your life to help you navigate and overcome life’s challenges.
Many kids in this situation just give up. They get into trouble, and they’re at risk of falling into the same bad behavior as their parents and starting the cycle all over again.
You can help
Through the support of our donors, CASA helps stop the cycle.
We bring a Special Advocate into the life of a child whose parents can’t or won’t take care of him—a sort of guardian angel; a normal, everyday San Mateo County resident who spends time every week with a kid in crisis.
Advocates do ordinary things, like go to the movies or attend a dance recital… maybe for the first time in the child’s life.
But what sets a CASA Special Advocate apart is that she also gets to know the child’s world, so she can help the court provide him the best possible life under traumatic circumstances.
Mountains of cases are filed in San Mateo County Juvenile Court each year, and the resources to investigate them have dwindled dramatically. Judges are often forced to make life-determining decisions based on sparse information.
Special Advocates make sure that kids don’t get lost in the over-burdened legal system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home.

Nature’s Spring Showers of Support; Zion Health Donates 50% of Online Spring Profits to Local Charities Including San Mateo Community Non-Profit Organization CASA.
San Francisco native natural body care pioneer Zion Health launches their campaign for spring support of the local non-profit organization Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of San Mateo County.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 19, 2013
Announcing the unique outpouring of support for San Mateo County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) by ancient clay natural remedy company Zion Health. Beginning March 19th, Zion Health will donate 50% of their online spring profits from http://www.adamaminerals.com to local charities such as CASA in support of children who need court appointed advocates.
Natural clay body care company Zion Health is on a mission to support socially conscious goals through mind, body and spirit. With organic products sourced from healing bentonite clay, Zion Health’s philosophy is to serve health-minded shoppers with natural wellness alternatives while giving back to the community. This spring, monthly donations through May will be donated to CASA in San Mateo County and additional local charities.
CASA’s focus is on partnering caring adults with children who have come under the court’s protection due to parental neglect or abandonment. Court judges appoint CASA volunteers to keep watch over and champion for abused or mistreated youth who might become lost in the legal shuffle. When the natural bond between a parent and child is broken, CASA volunteers step in to provide guidance and help ensure the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. They offer stability and the familiarity of everyday ordinary activities to provide a sense of normalcy for the struggling child.
Zion Health’s organic, natural ancient clay products are available at Whole Foods Market stores in California, Florida and at health food markets and co-ops throughout the United States and Canada. Zion provides its consumers with pure skin and body care products that are vegan, free of parabens, aluminum and formulated using certified organic ingredients whenever possible.
