A Little Help from our Friends
Thanks to the overwhelming response to the request for volunteers in our last newsletter, Latinos Progresando's legal services team currently has all the support it needs in screening and preparing potential deferred action applicants. We will continue to keep you updated on other volunteer opportunities as they arise, but want you to know how truly grateful we are to so many of you who came forward to help out. Thank you! 

A Special THANKS to Laura Litwiller and Mark Tenekjian! 

 

Laura Litwiller, one of LP's 100 Heroes, and a volunteer with LP's Legal Services team for many years, decided to share her big day with Latinos Progresando. Laura and her husband Mark contributed gifts from their wedding to support the organization's work. Laura and Mark, we owe you the deepest gratitude and wish you both all the best, from the LP family to yours.
