Having started with CASA years ago, I completed the training reguirements. However circustances prevented me then from following through with actual volunteer cases.
I am back in Corpus Chirsit now, in good health, and eager to resume working with your organization. I look forward to signing up for training opporutnities, but wont’ be able to start until July. Thank you for your expedient response to my telephone inquiry.
I just saw a story on channel 3 tonight about a young girl’s struggle to find a prom dress. I began a nonprofit organization last year to help raise money for local young female cancer patients and young girls who cannot afford the price of prom. We would love to help your organization out with similar cases as shown on the news tonight. Please contact us if you are ever in need again.
Thank you,
