Does anyone know a disability-rights advocate willing to help for free? Graciela, Bakersfield
Graciela is facing an unlawful eviction and can't afford a lawyer; a disability-rights advocate willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing an unlawful eviction, with a hearing on October. 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 California 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 Bakersfield 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Alexandria but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Graciela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
