The Children’s Advocacy Center for North Texas is trick-or-treating, too! Instead of candy, we’re filling our pumpkin with donations. We’d like to raise $1,000 by Halloween, which equates roughly to the cost of TWO forensic interviews for clients. Help us raise lots of “treats” this Halloween and continue fighting for our mission of providing justice and healing for the children of our community!
