A request for financial assistance has been received from a Bar member:

Having experienced difficulties with shared housing since the beginning of the pandemic, I am happy to be back in an atmosphere conducive to a home office and need one month’s support. I was getting minimal unemployment but that stopped last month. I do not have any new income or cases on the horizon, but I am actively applying for part-time work, as well as seeking out new clients for my small solo practice.
