Legal Aid of Western Missouri's (LAWM) website reads "Every day, Missourians are denied the basic rights to which they are entitled under the law simply because they can’t afford an attorney. We’re on a mission to change that!"
When they called me because they wanted to begin to highlight the stories of some of their clients on video, I was thrilled. I'd heard of LAWM before but I didn't realize they were a nonprofit, and I also didn't realize just how HUGE their impact was across not just Kansas City and St. Louis, but across the whole state of Missouri. Here is the first video we produced together, with two more videos in the pipeline for this year. The highlight of producing this video for me was getting to connect the clients of the video with one of my past clients TNC Community! Bruce and Janet Brown were in need of stable and secure housing for their daughter that provides 24/7 care and support. And TNC does just that! They'd never heard of TNC before we met. I was proud to be a small link in that chain of support for their daughter. I've gotten to learn about so many outstanding nonprofits across Kansas City and beyond because of this work, and to be able to connect these different groups was a joy. I continue to be so deeply honored to tell powerful stories like this one for nonprofits across the country.
