Q: Why did you join Tahirih’s Pro Bono Network?
A: I joined Tahirih’s Pro Bono Network because I was interested in supporting victims of gender-based violence. Resources for immigrant women and children are sorely lacking elsewhere, and the work Tahirih does is important.
Q: Share a highlight from a pro bono case with Tahirih.
A: I was part of a team at my firm that assisted a client with an application for a U visa. Meeting my client and her family and hearing her tell her story was very moving. She has survived hardships and violence that I can't even imagine, but she's managed to raise her children and forge a life for herself and for them. She also has a delightful sense of humor that came through even as we worked with a translator to communicate.
Q: How has your pro bono service impacted you?
A: Working on my pro bono case with Tahirih has given me a new understanding of the challenges facing women and children navigating the U.S. immigration system. I also have a new respect (and sympathy) for attorneys who have to work with USCIS forms on a regular basis! The sheer amount of paperwork required is staggering.
