Yesenia says the best part of her job as Landlord Project Coordinator & bilingual paralegal at @VLP_Boston is "helping someone find peace in their situation. Big results are always wanted, but sometimes a person's story needs to be told. People are grateful just to be heard."

Having access to legal help is critical, as Jean shares in his story. #LegalAid was “like a bridge” guiding Jean through negotiating an agreement with his landlord and "like magic" helping him and his family stay in their home. #mapoli
Jean is a single father who avoided homelessness with the support of @mwlegal. See his full story: vimeo.com/649617453
You don't need to face an eviction alone. Share Jean's story so others know that help is available.

Es ilegal que un arrendador lo desaloje sin antes presentar el caso ante un tribunal.
