As a new mother and after a high-risk pregnancy, “Dalia” needed to stay home to care for her newborn and herself. Unfortunately, not long after her child was born, Dalia was served with a collection complaint seeking over $2500. Although Dalia’s spouse worked, with only one income in home, they were unable to pay this debt, meaning a likely judgment and further collection action, compounding an already difficult time for Dalia.

Dalia came to Volunteer Lawyers for Justice seeking help.
