💜 Supporter Spotlight: Maria Nkonge Mugweru During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we’re celebrating supporters like Maria who stand with survivors and believe everyone deserves access to legal help, regardless of what they can afford.

Maria says she’s proud to play a part in “transforming fear into stability, despair into hope, and exhaustion into peace for fellow North Carolinians.” Thank you, Maria, for standing with survivors and supporting Legal Aid. 💜
