CFGALA was established so that you, the Guardian ad Litem, can say "yes" when a child or a caretaker asks:  can you help? 

• Over 50% of our children are in kinship placements with family already stretched thin and receiving  little financial help from the Department of Social Services. 
• Foster parents get some help, but many needs like summer camp, tutoring, or a computer are still a big stretch. 

Our children can build resilience for the future with a dedicated, caring adult and chances to be "just like the other kids" - having birthday parties, going to camp over the summer, seeing a movie with their new family.  That's why CFGALA raises money.  Use our resources to "help your kid be a kid."
