Hey everyone!

It is not too late to run for an LWA position! Participating in Law Women's Association is a great way to network, and to be a part of an organization that has been at U of A for quite some time (Professor Atwood was a member when she was a student!).

This year, we partnered with the Salvation Army and are helping two Tucson families in need (see their stories from Salvation Army below). You can stop by our table to sign-up to get specific gifts for the kids from their wish lists, or sign-up on the sheets that should be on a table near the boxes, but these families are in need almost everything!

Here are our families!
(last names have been changed)
The Castro Family The Ross Family
Veronica- 37y old Mom Fernando - 39y old Dad
Juan- 35y old Dad Christina - 33y old mom

Isabel -13y old girl Adriana - 8y old girl
Gabriel- 11y old boy Denzel - 7y old boy
Christopher- 8y old boy Carlos - 7y old boy
Rafael - 6y old boy
Jadeh - 4y old girl

The Castro Family
Veronica and Juan have been pretty stable most of their life. A few months ago, Juan had an opportunity to go back to school full time while Veronica worked and supported everyone so Juan could further his education. Juan enrolled as a full time student and all of a sudden Veronica lost her job, really putting them behind in everything. They have come across a hump in their life that they are desperately trying to get over. They need some extra help for the holidays for the first time ever. They are a very nice family and very humble.

Special Family Needs (Optional)
Tupperware, containers, pots & pans, oven mitts

The Ross Family
This family had a house fire in March 2014. The entire family's home burned down to nothing. They lost everything they owned. They had to start over with everything and anything. They can use everything! The Dad also just lost his job. Mom is working full time and this is the only income they have. They are currently staying in a mobile home. Anything you can do would be wonderful!
