A Sad Goodbye and New Hello

 

This month, LP said goodbye to one of our Accredited Representatives, Deyanira Gutierrez. After 13 years of helping local families reunite and remain strong here in Chicago, Deyanira will be moving to Houston with her husband and daughter.  Joining our team as Deyanira prepares to move out is Ambar Gonzalez. Join us in welcoming Ambar and wishing the best of luck to Deyanira! 

Special Thanks to LP's Legal Staff
A very warm thank you to our Legal Services staff for their outstanding work with clients over the past few months! The number of cases has increased tremendously as families have new opportunities available to them, yet our staff continues to serve every individual and every family with high quality legal services and counseling.

To our staff: Your dedication to your work and every family has helped make LP stronger, and strengthened our community as a whole.  
Thank you!
