National Celebrate Pro Bono Week is a time to recognize and thank our volunteers advancing Legal Aid's mission.

In addition to serving clients at clinics, Leanna Pierre is a long standing advocate for Health Law Partnership (HeLP), a medical legal partnership with Atlanta Legal Aid, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Georgia State University College of Law. ⚖ HeLP’s primary premise is integrating attorneys into the healthcare team so they can intervene to improve the physical, social, and economic environments in which many low-income children live, resulting in improved health and quality of life.

Whether I am helping Georgia’s children access legal advocacy as part of the wraparound support they need through the Health Law Partnership or helping Georgia residents address critical estate planning needs, the work is rooted in the same belief: our communities are stronger and more resilient when everyone has access to the support they need to thrive.” #ProBonoWeek #CelebrateProBono #Volunteer #AtlantaLegalAid #AccessToJustice
