What does changing the story look like for you? 

For Owen*, it was going from unhoused and unemployed to housed and employed. With Shore Legal Access’s help, he was able to petition for criminal record expungement and clear his record — leading the way to a role at a local nursing home, where he helps provide care and support for the residents.

You made that possible.

For Tim, it was helping Donna* navigate changes in life and estate planning when her intended personal representative fell ill. He understood all too well that life throws curveballs — but there doesn’t need to be a barrier to responding to those changes. As a volunteer attorney, he was able to step in and provide guidance to ensure her end-of-life decisions are carried out with dignity and in the manner Donna desires.

You made that possible too.

You might think your support helps change just one story. The truth is your support helps change so many more. 

For every dollar you commit to Shore Legal Access, $13 in value is returned to the community in free and low-cost legal services. Our volunteer attorneys go beyond what is expected of them to make sure our clients get the fair chance everyone deserves. We’re there during the hardest times in our clients’ lives — divorce, eviction, foreclosure — and we’ll continue to be there.

We know there are so many more stories waiting to be told, community members in need with journeys waiting to begin. How many stories can you help change?
