Child Advocates - CASA of Red River

A nonprofit organization

Imagine losing everything and everyone you love in one day. Now imagine what it would feel like if you were a child. 

Child Advocates- CASA of Red River is here to protect these various children and ensure their futures remain bright.  As victims of abuse and neglect, these children rely upon their Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA volunteer) to stand by them and speak up for them in court and in life, during the entire time they are in foster care.

So they never have to be alone.

This essential work is made possible because of YOU, your generosity, and Texoma Gives. 

Funds raised during Texoma Gives support training for CASA Volunteers and provide them the resources they need to visit the children  assigned to them and help them with emergency needs.  Your support allows CASA Volunteers to collaborate with parents, families, teachers, attorneys, and the courts to provide for children’s emotional, physical, and educational wellbeing.  There is so much at stake, but your gifts help us keep children front and center!

Our goal is to support parents in making big changes in their lives so that their children can go back home.  After all, they love each other. But if this can’t happen, then we look for other family or friends who love the children and will give them a home and a new family.  Or we look to adoption.  In the end, because of your support, we are able to FIGHT for children and their futures. 

No gift is too small.  Please join us in making a difference that will last a lifetime, starting today. 

Did you know . . .?


  • In 2024 in our four-county area, 386 victims of child abuse and/or neglect were served by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, with 148 children removed from their abusive situations during the year.  This means that in one year, 386 of our most vulnerable citizens were suspected or confirmed victims of often unspeakable trauma.
  • Child Advocates-CASA of Red River was appointed as guardian ad litem for 343 of those 386 children, leaving 43 children without an advocate to represent them and speak up for their needs.  The need for additional CASA volunteers is real and ongoing!
  • Child abuse and neglect have a lasting negative effect not only on the victims but also on the economy and our society at large. However, because of the unique work performed by CASA, young victims can -- and do -- grow up to lead productive and fulfilling lives as contributing members of the community.  Research shows that a constant, stable, safe, and loving adult presence can reverse the trauma of childhood abuse and neglect.   
  • It takes caring, dedicated adults to help turn fragile young lives from despair to hope.  CASA volunteers impact every aspect of a child’s life, nurturing the child’s physical, mental, emotional, and educational needs.  They are the VOICE for these children when the court makes all-important decisions in their lives.
  • It costs $300 to serve one of these children; won’t you make a donation to serve one more?
