What your support for Bay Area Legal aid means this Giving Tuesday

Dear Friends:

At BayLegal we seek to help and empower as many people as we can – as exemplified by the thousands who access housing, safety, healthcare, financial stability through our advocacy: our Impact webpage.

But on a daily basis it is the individuals and families who are represented in these numbers who drive our work and who will be supported by your Giving Tuesday donation.

It is about the legal case and helping to restore personal validation, as best stated by one of our clients:  

I was awarded disability benefits, and it felt like the light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel. This was not just a financial victory, but a validation of my struggle… not just in a legal sense, but in a deeply personal and emotional way. [BayLegal] restored my faith, my trust, and my sense of self-worth.

And the brighter future and appreciation from an immigrant survivor of violence who BayLegal helped with their U.S. naturalization:

Thank you so much! I am very happy. Thank you for the confidence you gave me. Thank you for everything, I am very glad.

In a time when many feel it is hard to impact real change, your donation to BayLegal supports direct legal assistance that helps those in need gain the basic necessities of life – housing, healthcare, safety, stability and dignity.

Thank you for your partnership and support!

Yours in partnership,

Genevieve Richardson
Executive Director
