Access to justice has no age limits

Senior citizens in our communities often face difficult legal problems alone. Please help Three Rivers Legal Services be there when they call for help.

A fundraising campaign for Three Rivers Legal Services, Inc.

Our client, Mrs. D, is in her seventies and resides with her disabled husband in one of our rural counties.   She is not familiar with legal matters and, when she called our office, she was facing foreclosure of her reverse equity mortgage.  There had been some confusion about payment of her taxes and insurance and the mortgage company eventually demanded payment of over $100,000.

We assisted Mrs. D in applying for a state program to help seniors remain in their homes.   We also agreed to represent her in the court case.   At that point, the lender refused to accept the funds from the state foreclosure rescue program and sought to continue with the foreclosure.   A year and a half later, after extensive litigation, the lender agreed to accept funds from the rescue program and dismissed the court case.   Mr. and Mrs. D are still living in their home today.

We hope you will support our work even if you have already supported us in this year.  Funds raised from this campaign will be used as the required match for grant funds received from the Administration on Aging of the Department of Health and Human Services.
