We would like to thank the Jewish community for your generous toy donations to CASA during the SPIN 1000 event at the Jewish Community Center on Sunday, Dec. 14. The children we represent have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect, and the foster parents and relatives who care for them often struggle to provide basics such as food, clothing and school expenses. There is rarely money left for toys. Your generous donations will help us provide holiday gifts and birthday presents for these children — who have very little joy in their lives.

Thank you so much for including us in your wonderful Hanukkah celebration.
