YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL HELP LEGAL AID PREVENT UNFAIR EVICTIONS

No one should have to live with the health hazards from mold and leaky pipes. But a mere request for repairs got single mom Stephanie Smith evicted.

Due to the eviction, in spite of having long term employment in a good paying job, it was extremely difficult for her to find quality affordable housing for her family.

Thanks to Managing Attorney Nick DiNardo’s intervention on her behalf, Stephanie won her lawsuit against the landlord for the retaliatory eviction. Happily, she also found new affordable housing for her family.

Your financial support will sustain Legal Aid’s capacity to prevent evictions for other hard-working individuals like Stephanie.

Please make a contribution today. Thank you!

OTHER WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE:

SEND US A CHECK:

If you would prefer to mail us a check, please make it payable to The Legal Aid Society. Our address is: The Legal Aid Society, 215 E. Ninth Street, Suite 200, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

USE YOUR IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER:

Consider using your Traditional IRA to make an Annual Charitable Gift.

If you are 70½ or older, this is a good opportunity to use an asset that otherwise would be taxed if you took a distribution.

Please direct the IRA administrator to make the transfer directly from your IRA to Legal Aid Society to avoid any tax issues.

Making the IRA charitable rollover gift to Legal Aid will count towards your minimum distribution for the year from the IRA. But, it won’t count as income on your tax return.
