Description
Many children travel through our foster care system completely alone, with no one whose only job is to help them get the support they need and to fight for their rights, both in court and in the foster care system. Some children, however, get lucky. They are represented by a court appointed special advocate or a guardian ad litem-volunteers who devote themselves to helping children who cannot help themselves. Someone There For Me tells the stories of these children and the people who helped them navigate the foster care system and to build a future for themselves. Written in the youths' own words, these stories are an inspiration for everyone who wants to help children and demonstrate the difference just one person can make.
