Pro bono disability-rights advocate needed for Alyssa's case in Massachusetts
Alyssa is facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions and can't afford a lawyer; a disability-rights advocate willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions, with a hearing on January. 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 Massachusetts 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 Cambridge 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Springfield this morning.
You're not alone, Alyssa. Hope you get there.
good luck, Alyssa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
thinking of you and your family, Alyssa. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I hope January is when things finally get easier!
