Thank you for your generous gift to Contra Costa Senior Legal Services. Because of supporters like you, a senior in our county will keep their home, recover from a scam, reclaim their benefits, or find their way through a legal system that too often treats older adults as an afterthought.

For fifty years, CCSLS has been the one free legal resource standing between Contra Costa County's seniors and the moments that could unravel a lifetime of work. More than 17,000 seniors in our county face over 7,000 legal issues each year. Eviction. Financial fraud. Elder abuse. Denied benefits. Family disputes over care and housing. Most cannot afford an attorney. All of them deserve someone in their corner.

Your gift goes directly to that work. It funds the attorney who answers the call, the advocate who shows up in court, and the case manager who makes sure a senior is not navigating a crisis alone.

Fifty years in, we are still at it, because the need has not gone anywhere. Rights don't retire, and as long as Contra Costa County's seniors face barriers to justice, neither will our work to defend them.

Thank you for being part of this work.

With deep gratitude,

Matthew Hulse
