ABOUT ADVOCARE TRUST INC.
With this charter, a corporation was born which is dedicated to the lifelong best interest of the sons and daughters of those who enroll their children. At last there would be someone to assist the disabled adult in their decision making, someone who can make medical decisions, act as guardian, monitor their care and review their financial situation, someone who does not work for the state or facilities to make sure their resources are utilized for their benefit, someone who will fight for them as hard as their parents did during their life time.
As the result of years of research, Advocare Trust, Inc. (Advocare) was chartered in 1988, to provide Trust, Advocacy, and Guardianship services for its beneficiary members.
Advocare is independent of any federal, state, or local agency, and can therefore be completely objective while working closely with service providers.
Advocare was organized and is managed by parents and professionals who understand the needs of our special children. It was specifically chartered for the purpose of ministering to the needs of beneficiaries of the corporation as long as they reside in Hillsborough, Pinellas, or Pasco County, Florida.
Advocare accomplishes this by providing advocacy that ensures each beneficiary’s continued care, comfort, nurture and education.
Daily advocacy duties are performed by the Executive Director and Program Coordinators. Our Executive Director, Susanna Schramek, is a caring and concerned person with over 30 years of experience in the field of developmental disabilities and a professional guardian for the last 22 years. Our Program Coordinators Rosa Rivera* and Elizabeth Mejia are compassionate and devoted professionals with years of experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities, both have over 10 years with our organization.
