Today is my birthday 🎂 🎂 🎂 

 

I collected my passport book yesterday (large size).

I drove immediately to the SSA even though my appointment scheduled day was next month, Jan 15th.

I did the walking and they received my me and did my citizenship update.

So, I Roundup everything yesterday and now ready for my international travel next week.

This journey has been somewhat better and easier because of you all.

I'm so Grateful.

My prayers for those still on line for the adjudication of their cases.

May God bless you all.

 

Congratulations! Wish you best of luck! Finally you are stress free! Enjoy your trip.

Dear friends,

I’m writing this with a heavy heart to ask for guidance and support for one of my close friends who is a survivor of serious abuse. He was brutally abused and, for his safety, was granted a protective order. This experience has taken a deep emotional toll on him.

Seeking justice, he hired an attorney in New York City, but unfortunately, that attorney took his fees and failed to file the case or take meaningful action. This neglect has left my friend devastated, deeply depressed, and feeling completely lost.

At this point, he urgently needs help. We are looking for a trustworthy attorney, legal aid organization, or advocacy group that can carefully review his documents and help him properly file his case and move forward. Any recommendations, contacts, or guidance would mean more than words can express.

If you know of anyone who genuinely helps victims of abuse, or organizations that stand up for justice, please speak up or message me privately.

I truly believe that when we think about others, guide them toward truth and the Almighty, and stand for what is right, God helps us in ways we cannot imagine. Good deeds are never forgotten, and kindness is always rewarded.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Please keep him in your prayers, and thank you in advance for any help or direction you can offer.

Thank you for your response and for trying to help. Unfortunately, the attorney he previously hired took the full legal fee and did not file anything at all on his behalf. Despite repeated follow-ups, the attorney failed to take action, did not return the fees, and effectively abandoned the case after collecting payment.

As a result, my friend is now trying to move forward without being further harmed. He has already completed his entire case file, including all supporting documents and a protective order. What he urgently needs is assistance from a reputable organization or a pro bono/legal aid attorney that helps survivors of abuse review cases, ensure everything is properly prepared, and assist with filing and next steps.

If you can refer us to any organizations, survivor advocacy groups, or pro bono legal services that assist victims of abuse, it would be deeply appreciated. We are simply seeking ethical, legitimate help so his case can finally move forward.

Thank you again for any guidance or referrals you may be able to share.
