It is because of YOUR support that clients like Savannah found the legal help she desperately needed when facing eviction from her home. CLA attorneys Taylor Rumble and Mary Vosburgh stepped in and successfully dismissed her case, allowing her and her child to stay housed without an eviction on her record. Savannah celebrated this important victory with her family in court, highlighting the powerful impact of your generosity. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of families like Savannah’s! https://lnkd.in/ekZ_Yca5

Charleston Legal Access attended the recent State of our Families. The work @tridentunitedway is doing is so vital to understanding the plight of local families, and it inspired us to know that we are making a difference in the right place. In 2022, more than half (53%) of children in South Carolina lived in households experiencing financial hardship. Families are struggling with the cost of necessities, making CLA that much more important for them when a legal emergency happens. @united4alice We are so proud of Ali Moriarty, CLA's past Board President and current Board Member, who moderated the discussion.
