Our world is not perfect, and unfortunately, there are always people who will need our help. I donate funds and time to the Combined Campaign for Justice as one important way to make a positive difference in the lives of those who live in our community.  

Every single time I appear in family court on a pro bono matter it makes me realize that I lead a very sheltered and comfortable life. The next thought that immediately follows that realization, though, strikes me as the most important to me personally: doing this pro bono work really makes me appreciate the family and support I have and have enjoyed throughout my life and it is good to be reminded of that from time to time. What better way to acknowledge that than to try to help others who have not been so fortunate. Providing meaningful financial support to the Combined Campaign is one of the ways we should all do that.

The Combined Campaign for Justice is one of the most vital and impactful fundraising endeavors that we have in Delaware.  It truly changes lives. CCJ  supports Delaware’s legal aid agencies to ensure that every voice has a chance to be heard, not just those that can afford to hire an attorney. I give to CCJ because it’s important to me that the courthouse doors should be available to all our citizens.

Why do I support the Combined Campaign for Justice? Because it works.  Every dollar given results in real, direct and quantifiable benefits to the community and to the people that DVLS, CLASI, and LCSD can represent as a result of CCJ.  

Supporting CCJ is important to me because there is an overwhelming need for legal aid. CCJ helps gives those who need it most the much-needed help navigating the legal system.  

I give to the Combined Campaign for Justice because it ultimately enables our fellow human beings  who are far less fortunate than I am and cannot afford a lawyer to get their day in court and secure essential rights and protections that otherwise would likely be smashed along with their hopes and dreams for the semblance of a decent life.

I support the Combined Campaign for Justice because it validates our claim to justice for all. Justice for most is not the same and not adequate.

It is my pleasure to serve as a Corporate Committee Chair and to donate to CCJ because it is the right thing to do.  I thank God that we have so many people who are passionate about and willing to give tirelessly of their time to this great cause. “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”  Martin Luther King, Jr.

I donate to the Combined Campaign for Justice because I watch the volunteer legal services attorneys the CCJ supports in action in Family Court representing victims of domestic violence to obtain life-saving protection from abuse orders. These attorneys are professional, compassionate and perform invaluable legal services to people in our community who need help to protect themselves and their children but who cannot afford legal fees.

Parcels has been fortunate to play an important role in the Delaware legal process since 1980.  In that time, we’ve had the opportunity to serve the community in a variety of ways.  By donating our time, money and resources to the Combined Campaign for Justice, we have been able to help raise the much needed awareness and funding required to make the Campaign a success. Without the Campaign, those individuals who truly need legal assistance would be underserved and/or forgotten.  To us—that’s not an acceptable result.  That is why we’re happy to support the Campaign in any way we can.  

Both in my role as a court reporter and reporting firm owner dating back to the late 1970’s, I have been very fortunate to have the honor and privilege to serve and work with the Delaware legal community. My desire to give back and support the mission of the Delaware Bar lead me to get involved with the Combined Campaign of Justice many years ago.  I truly believe all citizens should have equal access to legal services and our judiciary to ensure all members of our society are treated fairly.   This belief and commitment is why I have given my time and financial resources to the Campaign over these many years and why I always urge other vendors to our legal community to give generously to support this important and worthy cause.
