ʻAʻohe ala hoʻokahi i ka hana kānāwai: ʻokoʻa kēlā me kēia huakaʻi.
I ka puka ʻana o Alexander Szaruga mai ke Kulanui o Ohio State me kahi kekelē hoʻonaʻauao mele, ua hoʻomaka koke ʻo ia e hana ma ke ʻano he kumu kula aupuni o Ohio. Ua kōkua ʻo ia i nā haumāna e hoʻoulu i nā mākau hou a e ʻimi i kā lākou makemake mele, akā ua hoʻomohala ʻo Alex i ka mahalo nui no ka hopena o ke kākoʻo kūpono i ke ola o ka poʻe. Ma hope o ʻekolu makahiki, hoʻi ʻo ia i Ohio State e ʻimi i ke kēkelē loio.
Ma hope o kona puka ʻana, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Alex i kāna ʻoihana loio ma KeyBank, kahi i kono ai nā hoa hana iā ia e hele i kekahi o nā Legal Aid's. Nā Keʻena Aʻo Pōkole i ka hāʻule o 2019. Mai ia manawa, ua hele ʻo ia i nā keʻena ʻē aʻe he nui, ua kōkua i ka poʻe e hoʻopaʻa i nā moʻolelo ma o nā keʻena expungement, a loaʻa iā ia. pro bono nā manawa kūpono mai Legal Aid's E lawe i kahi palapala hihia. Hoʻopili ʻia kēia hana ʻaʻole wale i ka makemake o Alex pro bono, akā, ʻo ka manaʻo o KeyBank e hoʻokomo hou i kona kaiāulu: Loaʻa iā Alex ke kākoʻo mai KeyBank no kāna pro bono lawelawe.
ʻO ka manawa o Alex me ka Volunteer Lawyer Program ua hōʻike iā ia i kēlā me kēia loio - inā he kālepa a he loio paha; inā paha ua hana lākou ma nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe a ʻaʻole paha—hiki ke hoʻololi i ke ola o nā kānaka ma o ka hāʻawi manawaleʻa.
Ma ke ʻano he kumu aʻo, ua hana ʻo Alex me nā haumāna e hoʻokō i nā IEP; ma ke ʻano he loio manawaleʻa, ua hoʻohana ʻo Alex i kēlā ʻike ʻoiai e pani ana i nā ʻohana o nā haumāna i nele i nā IEP. He mea waiwai nui nā ʻike like ʻole o ka poʻe manawaleʻa i nā mea kūʻai o Legal Aid.
Kākoʻo ʻo Legal Aid i nā loio manawaleʻa i kēlā me kēia pae o ke ala, me ka nānā ʻole i kā lākou ʻike mua. Mahalo nui ʻo Alex i ke kākoʻo i loaʻa iā ia mai nā limahana Legal Aid, "I koʻu hoʻomaka ʻana e hana manawaleʻa, hopohopo wau no ka mea, ma ke ʻano he loio kālepa mua, ʻaʻole wau e loaʻa ka ʻike e pono ai ke kōkua i nā mea kūʻai aku. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, ua kākoʻo maikaʻi ʻia nā loio limahana o Legal Aid, a ʻo ka mea hoʻonaʻauao ma mua o nā hanana e like me Expungement Clinics ua hāʻawi iaʻu i ka hilinaʻi i koʻu hiki ke hāʻawi i nā ʻōlelo aʻo maikaʻi i nā mea kūʻai aku.
I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe: aia mākou i loko o kēia. Ma ka hāʻawi manawaleʻa, hui pū ʻoe i kahi kaiāulu o nā loio e like me Alex, me nā limahana Kokua Kānāwai a me nā loio i kūpaʻa e kōkua iā ʻoe e kūleʻa i kā mākou misionari kaʻana e lawelawe i ka poʻe nele.
