| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is honored to | ||
| recognize The Children's Shelter and Voices for Children of San | ||
| WHEREAS, This somber occasion pays tribute to the 19 | ||
| children who died in San Antonio last year as a result of abuse or | ||
| neglect; these innocents were between the ages of one month and | ||
| 18 years old when their lives were tragically cut short; and | ||
| WHEREAS, As the community gathers to mourn their | ||
| collective loss, child care advocates are reminded of the grave | ||
| dangers that threaten children who live in compromised | ||
| households; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This poignant vigil also underscores the | ||
| ceaseless commitment of entities like The Children's Shelter and | ||
| Voices for Children of San Antonio; both groups strive to prevent | ||
| such incomprehensible deaths with educational and preventative | ||
| programs for at-risk adults and to simultaneously improve the | ||
| lives and futures of all children in San Antonio; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since 1901, The Children's Shelter has been a | ||
| sanctuary for the youngest and most vulnerable; each year, it | ||
| serves 3,000 children and families, and its offerings include | ||
| adoption and foster care services, residential treatment centers | ||
| WHEREAS, Voices for Children of San Antonio emphasizes | ||
| advocacy, with a focus on shaping public policy and facilitating | ||
| collaboration in the effort to keep children safe and to enhance | ||
| their earliest childhood development; Voices for Children | ||
| connects more than 500 organizations in San Antonio; and | ||
| WHEREAS, These two groups provide immeasurable support for | ||
| endangered and abused children and are deserving of the highest | ||
| accolades for their unending dedication; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
| 83rd Legislature, hereby commend The Children's Shelter and | ||
| Voices for Children of San Antonio as they gather for the | ||
| Remember 19 Vigil; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| them as an expression of great esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
