May 29: Founders' Day

Legal Aid turns 119 in May!  We use our birthday as an opportunity to host a Founders’ Day celebration to thank our supporters.

This year, Founders’ Day is on Wednesday, May 29.  The theme this year is our housing justice work – and we’ll hear from a former client, celebrate some partnerships, and enjoy a panel discussion with funders.  (Last year, we focused on medical-legal partnerships – read a summary here: https://lasclev.org/07132023-4/)

Impact Stories

Access to Education through Legal Aid: Athena (nammen feroare om privacy te beskermjen) was concerned about her son Anthony. Anthony is a special needs student and Athena felt as if her son’s school was not giving him the support that he needed to be successful. The school made communication with Athena difficult after she expressed her concerns about how a teacher was treating Anthony. Even though the school was aware that Anthony had disabilities, they suspended him based on his disability related behavior.

Athena was not about to allow her son’s education to be disrupted in any way. She was so frustrated that she discussed it with her healthcare provider at University Hospitals. Because of University Hospitals’ relationship with Legal Aid through the Medical-Legal Partnership, she was referred to Legal Aid for assistance. Her Legal Aid attorney suggested that they request a meeting with the school to discuss modifying Anthony’s individualized education plan (IEP). Due to the poor relationship between Athena and school officials, her attorney requested the IEP meeting and represented her at the meeting.

As a result of several IEP meetings, Athena, her attorney, and school officials discussed several strategies to implement within Anthony’s IEP to help him meet his educational and behavior goals. Not to mention, the meetings helped to improve Athena’s relationship with school officials. Thanks to Athena for being a caring and attentive parent and her Legal Aid attorney, Anthony is getting his special needs met to help him to excel in school.  Besite dizze keppeling to share this story on social media and add why you personally support Legal Aid.

Housing Stability through Legal Aid: Andrea (namme feroare om privacy te beskermjen) fell behind in her rent. She did everything that she could possibly do to catch up but without success. Eventually she received a three-day eviction notice. Andrea didn’t want to move and feared that she and her family would become homeless. That’s when she called Legal Aid for help.

Andrea’s Legal Aid attorney advised her to apply for rental assistance. Her application was approved, and her landlord agreed to accept the funds to pay the back rent. The landlord then dismissed the case and allowed her to remain in the home.  To ensure that the eviction wouldn’t make it difficult for Andrea to find housing in the future, her attorney instructed her on how to get the eviction record sealed.  Thanks to her partnership with a Legal Aid attorney, Andrea no longer had to worry about her family being displaced.
