Support Our Work
Your Gift Removes Barriers to Justice
For survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, legal representation can be the key to safety and stability—yet many don’t qualify for Legal Aid and cannot afford private attorneys. Laura’s Light is fully funded by donations and grants, which means your support directly bridges this justice gap by connecting survivors with pro bono attorneys and covering critical legal costs. Because of this model, survivors never pay for legal representation, no one is turned away due to fees, and every case receives compassionate, expert care.
Your gift has tangible impact. With legal support, survivors are more likely to secure protection orders that increase safety, reach custody arrangements that protect children, and stabilize housing and finances—critical steps that help break cycles of violence and open the door to long-term healing.
