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."
Natalie Ensz
"I joined the Associate Committee at the Children's 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."
