YOUTHanasia Foundation, Inc:
Kim has dedicated her life to this organization.
She started it in 1997 with her own money, and
received her first paycheck from the foundation
in 2007! Her creativity and compassion for our
city's youth keeps YOUTHanasia recognized as
one of our city's premiere youth organizations!
Kim goes the distance to keep our city's teenagers
off of the streets and alive!! She taught herself
how to write grants to insure YOUTHanasia is
always financially stable. Kim opened The Teen
Center for Non-Violence, which serves as the
foundation's headquarters as well as a safe
haven for the teens served by YOUTHanasia.
CASA:
This former Law Enforcement Office takes on
the cases of foster care children in dier
need that no one wants to take. He speaks for
the children of abuse and neglect who cannot
speak for themselves. He gives these children
hope for a better life.
Being a CASA avocate does not just mean going
to court it also means staying up late nights to
write reports and look through cases, visit
homes and conduct investigations. So much of
his free time is spent fighting for the rights
of children who seem to have none.
