VOICES FOR CHILDREN
Founded in 1980, Voices for Children (VFC) transforms the lives of abused, neglected, and abandoned children in foster care in San Diego and Riverside Counties by providing them with trained volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). CASA volunteers advocate for a foster child or sibling group in Court, school, and in the community to ensure their needs are met. VFC believes that every child deserves a safe and permanent home, striving to provide a CASA volunteer to every child in the foster care system who needs one. Last year, VFC CASAs and staff advocated on behalf of more than 3,400 foster children across San Diego and Riverside Counties. Mary J. Naimish, founding partner of Naimish & Lewis Law, APC., is a former CASA volunteer. Our Associate Attorney Denise Stich currently serves as a volunteer CASA.

LIONEL’S LEGACY
Advocating for senior dogs in need. In the rescue world it’s an extreme gamble as adoption rates for seniors are low and medical costs often high. As a result, so many senior dogs are left behind at the shelter to live out their final days in confusion and discomfort. It is their goal to save and advocate for ONE senior furbaby at a time, and support anyone who is willing to do the same.
