Hana pū nā mea manawaleʻa Legal Aid me nā limahana Legal Aid e hoʻonui i ka hiki ʻana o Legal Aid ma Northeast Ohio. E aʻo ma ʻaneʻi i ka #MyLegalAidStory o Robert Cabrera, he mea manawaleʻa Legal Aid lōʻihi.
"Makemake au e lilo i mea hakakā kūʻokoʻa," wahi a Robert Cabrera, i ka nīnau ʻana e pili ana i ke koho ʻana e hana manawaleʻa me The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland. “Ua like ke kōkua kānāwai he wahi maikaʻi ia e hoʻomaka ai. Hauʻoli wau i ka hoʻololi ʻana. "
He haumāna kuʻuna ʻole ʻo Robert - ua hoʻi ʻo ia i nā makahiki kula ma hope o kona puka ʻana mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe. Ua loaʻa iā ia kāna BA ma ka Political and Economic Theory ma Oberlin College ma mua o ke komo ʻana i ke Kulanui o ke Kulanui o Cleveland State University.
Ma mua o kona makahiki ʻelua ma ke kula kānāwai, ua ʻōlelo kekahi e noi ʻo Robert no kahi ʻoihana no kahi keʻena hoʻopiʻi kūloko, akā ma hope o kāna nīnauele mua ua ʻike ʻo ia ʻaʻole kūpono ia. ʻO ia ka manawa i hoʻoholo ai ʻo ia e noi no ke kūlana kākau kānāwai ma Legal Aid.
Ua kamaʻāina ʻo Robert i ka hana a Legal Aid – ua ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi i hana pū me kekahi loio Kokua Kānāwai. Ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ke kūpaʻa o ka loio.
Ua hoʻolimalima ʻia ʻo Robert ma ke ʻano he kākau ʻōlelo kānāwai ma ke keʻena ʻo Legal Aid's Lorain County a laila hoʻi ʻo ia i Legal Aid i hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o kona puka ʻana i ke kula kānāwai ma ke ʻano he loio kānāwai kiʻekiʻe.
Ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kāna paʻa ponoʻī, ua hāʻawi manawaleʻa ʻo Robert ma nā Legal Aid Brief Clinics a lawe ʻo ia pro bono hihia. ʻO kekahi o kāna mau hihia pro bono punahele e pili ana i kahi wahine 74 ona makahiki. I ka hala ʻana o kāna kāne, ua ʻike ʻo ia ua lawe ʻo ia i kahi moraki lua ma ko lākou home. Me ka loaʻa ʻole o kāna kāne, ua hewa ʻo ia i ka moraki.
Ua hiki iā Robert ke mālama iā ia ma kona home no ʻekolu makahiki. Ua hiki iā ia ke kōkua iā ia e kūʻai aku i ka hale a uku i ka hui moraki. Ua makemake ka mea kūʻai aku a Robert e hoʻi i ka home i Philippines a, me ke koena o nā kālā i loaʻa mai ke kūʻai ʻana o kona hale, ua hiki iā ia ke hana pēlā.
I ka nīnau ʻia ʻana no ke aha ʻo ia e hoʻomau nei i ka manawaleʻa, maʻalahi ka pane a Robert - ʻoluʻolu.
