LIVE AUCtION
Help us make the impossible possible.
Nearly two million people—more than one in five residents of New
York City—live at or below the poverty level. For these children
and adults, persistent rates of unemployment and limited job
opportunities, increased budget pressures at the City and State
levels, and an extreme shortage of affordable housing have left
them at greater risk of destabilizing legal problems and more
in need of legal representation. Against this background, every
day, The Legal Aid Society provides a lifeline for basic survival for
thousands of vulnerable New Yorkers, including vital programs to
help children and their families address essential family needs.
Your contribution during the Live Auction helps children and
their families access essential, life-changing legal advocacy and
overcome educational, social, and psychological issues.
thE LEgAL AID SOCIEty’S CIVIL PRACtICE
The Civil Practice assists low-income clients with civil legal
matters that have an immediate and direct impact on their
everyday lives. We enhance family and community stability by
helping clients obtain and maintain the basic necessities of
life such as housing, healthcare, food and subsistence income.
Unfortunately, there is a much greater need for the services of our
Civil Practice than can presently be fulfilled. For every client the
Practice can help, there are a substantial number of low-income
New Yorkers we must turn away due to lack of funding.
Proceeds from this event support the Civil Practice.
