Every day, the Legal Aid Society of San Diego is forced to decide which urgent cases we can take and which we must turn away—not because they’re less deserving, but because we simply do not have the resources to help everyone.
Because of limited funding, thousands of people like Michelle, a single mom facing eviction, don’t get the legal help they desperately need. Without Legal Aid, they face losing their homes, their safety, and their future.
"I was desperate and terrified. I had nowhere to turn and truly believed that at any moment my kids and I could become homeless. Legal Aid has made a profound impact on me, and I am deeply appreciative of everything you have done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Last year alone, we had to say no to thousands of cases due to lack of resources. This year, your gift can change that.
Right now, $5 million in critical funding is at risk—funding that directly affects how many people we can serve.
Without it, more families may be forced to live on the streets, children may go to bed hungry, and people with disabilities may no longer have life-saving medication due to denied healthcare coverage.
By the time someone turns to Legal Aid, they’ve exhausted every option—they’re out of time, out of resources, and in crisis. You are the one who answers that call for help.
