A few hours of disability-rights advocate time could save Nusrat's home

Nusrat is facing a benefits termination I'm appealing 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 benefits termination I'm appealing, with a hearing on September. 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 Maharashtra 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 Pune 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Atlanta donated after I showed her your page. Love from Atlanta

    • Hope things get better soon, Nusrat. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 21 people at work. Take care.
