Director's Corner
ANOTHER BUSY YEAR
From Susie Huhn,
Executive Director
Sadly, child abuse was Page One news again recently. A front-page story in the Arizona Daily Star reported that the mother of a 6-week-old girl had been sentenced to life in prison for starving her baby to death.
Such stories are chilling, obviously, but only the most outrageous cases reach the news. A sadder truth is that child abuse and neglect happen every day … throughout the Greater Tucson community.
Our Casa …
Casa de los Niños offers a variety of programs designed to prevent child abuse and to care for children who have already been abused. Our Crisis Shelter is a safe haven for abused, neglected and at-risk children under the age of 12. Our 100-plus foster homes care for more than 140 children. These and other programs make a difference in the lives of Tucson’s children… every day of the year!
… is your Casa!
Since the day it was established in 1973 – when staff members in the city Planning Department passed a hat to help Sister Kathleen Clark pay for her first permit – community support has been critical to our continued success. The Casa de los Niños family includes donors, volunteers and professionals who donate their goods and services. Won’t you join us? Tucson’s children are all our children. Join the Casa de los Niños family today!
Our Mission Statement: Casa de los Niños seeks to prevent child abuse and neglect by offering services that promote child safety and family stability.
