"I joined the Childrens Advocacy Center of Kansas because I want to help out children in need and spread awareness about what our organization does and hope to make our communities in Kansas safer."
Mercedes Lubbers
"I joined the Associate Committee for CACKS to better advocate and initiate state change for children like my step-son who has been abused by his step-father and whose experience has been diminished by the system and current Kansas statutes. I want to spread awareness and make Kansas a safer place for all children to be protected, believed, and given justice."
