The McDonald's Houston Children’s Festival has raised over $5 million for Child's Advocates and we hear about their need for volunteers. Child Advocates are thoroughly trained to work through our court system hand in hand with minors. Beyond the needs of the child in court, Advocates are also help with making sure the children are getting what they need from their foster homes and schools. It is an invaluable service which sometimes forges lifelong relationships between Advocate and child.
