H.R. No. 1107 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Carmen Cabigon has made a positive difference in the | ||
lives of area children in need by serving as a Court Appointed | ||
Special Advocate volunteer; and | ||
WHEREAS, CASA is a nonprofit organization that relies on | ||
trained volunteers to act as representatives for children who are | ||
removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect; through the | ||
program, advocates are assigned to gather information and make | ||
recommendations that assist judges in reaching decisions that serve | ||
the best interests of each child; and | ||
WHEREAS, The dedicated men and women of CASA provide children | ||
with a crucial voice in the often overburdened judicial and | ||
protective services systems and ensure that they receive the | ||
attention they need until they are placed in a permanent home; in | ||
many cases, advocates offer a rare source of stability to young | ||
people coping with a traumatic and uncertain time in their lives; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The safety and well-being of children are of deep | ||
concern to all citizens, and by devoting considerable time and | ||
effort to fulfill a critical need in the community, Carmen Cabigon | ||
has set an admirable example to which others may aspire; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend Carmen Cabigon for serving as a Court | ||
Appointed Special Advocate volunteer and extend to this caring | ||
Texan sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Carmen Cabigon as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
