BLOCK
"I came to this country to build a better life, but when my asylum case was denied, I felt hopeless. This legal aid organization took my case, listened to my story, and fought for me. Because of them, I now have legal status. They didn't just help me — they helped my entire family feel safe again."
— Luis M., Queens, NY
