Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Gianna.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada1,256 views
I'm facing a custody dispute, 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 Ontario 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 Ottawa 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Palermo but we're thinking of you.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Makassar
good luck, Gianna. Hope you get there. Thinking of Ottawa.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Atlanta donated after I showed her your page
