Thank you to our donors who make hope a reality for abused and neglected children This year we celebrate the powerful voice of our Advocates in supporting foster children and their families. Grandparents Lily and Phil, mother Cynthia and children Larissa, Eric, Liliana, Julie and Analina are together, their case dismissed. This happy outcome is the result of their hard work and tremendous love for one another. Another key ingredient in their successful reunion was the support of devoted Advocates: Holly, Ashok, Angel and Jessica. This story is just one example of the positive impact of Child Advocates of Silicon Valley on our community. When baby Analina tested positive for controlled substances at birth, she and her four siblings were removed from their mother’s care. Grandparents Phil and Lily moved to San Jose to care for all five children. Initially, the grandparents were resistant to Advocates: “I did not see how volunteers could help” stated Phil. Gradually, his perspective changed. “Now, I cannot say enough good about the Advocates. The time and attention of these volunteers, it comes from the heart.” After two and a half years of work and support, mother Cynthia was able to regain custody of her children. The family is now happy, healthy and together. “You are like angels. Our gratitude is boundless.” Since our inception in 1986, Child Advocates of Silicon Valley has served over 15,000 children and supported over 10,000 volunteer Advocates. We continue our emphasis on innovative programming and collaboration with partners to continuously improve the Santa Clara County foster care system. Our focus on academic success, a critical factor in creating a future of possibilities and breaking the cycle of abuse, continues to result in positive outcomes for our children and their families. As previewed in last year’s report, the agency embarked and is making progress on an ambitious plan to achieve our five year goal: Provide an Advocate for every foster child in Santa Clara County. Your continued support is critical to the success of our agency. Thank you for your commitment to providing a highly trained, consistent, caring adult for our most vulnerable children.
