A few hours of disability-rights advocate time could save Maurício's home
Maurício is facing a custody dispute and can't afford a lawyer; a disability-rights advocate willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a custody dispute, with a hearing on December. I earn too much to qualify for legal aid on paper, but not nearly enough to pay a lawyer's retainer.
I'm looking for a qualified disability-rights advocate licensed in Bahia who might be able to review my documents, prepare me for the hearing, or take the case pro bono or on a reduced fee.
I've organized my documents chronologically, and I'll share them with the lawyer who agrees to help. I can travel to your office in Vitória da Conquista or meet online.
I understand that the time of a lawyer is valuable, and I'm deeply grateful for any help or for suggestions of organizations that could assist.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Maurício. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista.
best of luck, Maurício. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Sydney
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Vitória da Conquista
take care. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this, Maurício. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Coventry donated after I showed her your page!
sending good thoughts, Maurício. I hope things turn around soon
Hang in there, Maurício. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
