PwC Forensic Services contributed both financial gifts and staff volunteerism to AVLF in 2017. 

Thanks to Hunton & Williams, the Georgia Association of Paralegals, and AVLF’s Junior Board of Directors, four families — and 10 children — were given stress-free holidays. 

The foundation recognized AVLF for the preventative health work our programs accomplish. 

Ms. Cochran walked into the courthouse flanked by two attorneys, two damages experts, a mold expert, two witnesses from the apartment building, and an officer with the Atlanta Police Department’s Code Enforcement Section, Ms. Cochran walked into the courtroom with an army.

We are very grateful to our December 2017 volunteers.

“I am very thankful for the help and great advice from attorney Andrew Thompson.” – Ms. Carson

Safe and Stable Families volunteer Farley Ezekiel explains why representing survivors of domestic violence in court is personal to her. 

AVLF is usually a last resort for the tenants who come to us for help. That was true in Ms. Coltrane’s case: her pleading calls to her landlord about the mold infestation in her home had gone unanswered for months.

Ms. Malone has so much strength. After being held hostage by her child’s father for hours, she came directly to the Safe Families Office to file for legal protection against him. 

AVLF’s newest development staff members explain how they got into this work, what they love about working at AVLF, and what holiday giving means to them. 

We are grateful for our November 2017 volunteers.
