"I am sad that I can't access legal services. When I go for legal advice, I am told that the waiting list is full.
I’m scared that if NYS doesn’t increase their investment in legal services funding, then myself and so many others will be left without the support we need to get legalized and work permits and the kind of documentation that would help me build a more secure future for my family in NY."
"CSSM was able to connect with a lawyer and I finally had the legal representation that I was looking for during the past two years since I arrived here.
Now, I have a lawyer who is fighting for my rights which is something I didn’t know I had.
Through CSSM, I have grown to be a woman who is no longer afraid and feels empowered. I now own a car, have work permit and a job, and am in the proceeds of owning my own house."
