Supporting Families in Crisis Through Hispanic Languages and Cultures

Especially during Hispanic Heritage Month, CASA of Tarrant County celebrates and continues its efforts in supporting families in crisis through Hispanic languages and cultures.

Maritza, one of many of CASA’s Spanish speaking volunteers, understands the importance of advocating for her Spanish speaking children that she serves – both to the children and their families. Martiza has been able to establish a connection, and eventual unwavering trust, through their shared language, culture, and personal experiences.

With CASA Martiza’s consistent encouragement, the mother of the children on one of her cases, Cynthia, was able to complete her court-ordered services – all in Spanish. Because of this opportunity, Cynthis was able to secure a home, vehicle, and stable job, all with the help of CASA Martiza.

CASA Martiza was able to help Cynthia find a car seat for her youngest son, and gift cards to purchase other essential items that were necessary for overnight visits. This assistance prevented any delays in her children coming back to Cynthia’s eventual care. Everyone involved in this particular case is thrilled about Cynthia’s progress and the commitment to change and grow for her children.
