Teresa came to Legal Aid in a desperate moment. After faithfully paying her mortgage for years, she fell behind following the loss of her husband’s income. Threatened with foreclosure, she feared losing the home she had worked so hard to maintain. 

But with the help of her Legal Aid attorney, everything changed. By accessing refunds from years of unclaimed Missouri Property Tax Credits, Teresa was able to pay off her mortgage entirely. Her account was marked “paid in full,” and the lien on her home was lifted. 

Today, Teresa owns her home free and clear and has even worked with Legal Aid to ensure it stays in her family for generations. 

Thanks to Legal Aid, Teresa kept her home—and her hope. Please donate today so you can get life-changing legal help to another neighbor in need.
