Two hundred and fifty years ago, the ideals of liberty, fairness, and equality were written into the founding of this nation. This July, Greater Waco Legal Services is asking our community to help make those ideals a reality right here in Waco.

Join us July 1st through 7th for our Week of Giving. Throughout the week we will be sharing client stories, highlighting the work happening across our six pillars of impact, and inviting you to take part in the 1776 Challenge — a symbolic gift in honor of our nation’s 250th anniversary that helps ensure everyone in Central Texas has access to justice.

There is also a match gift opportunity during the week, and everyone who gives will have a chance to win two tickets to our Murder Mystery Dinner this fall.

The best time to do your estate planning is before you need it.

In this week’s reel, Kent McKeever, our Founder and Executive Director, breaks down why having a will and estate plan in place is one of the most important things you can do for the people you love.

It is not just about what happens to your property. It is about making sure your hard-earned assets go exactly where you intend, your heirs are protected from unnecessary crisis, and your generational wealth has a clear path forward to the next generation.

A will. A ladybird deed or transfer on death. Beneficiaries named on your financial accounts and vehicles. These are not complicated things to put in place. But without them, the people you leave behind are left sorting through confusion during an already difficult time.

“Get ahead of it and take care of it ahead of time.”

Estate planning is not just for the wealthy. It is for anyone who has something to protect and people they love.

The truth is, most families put it off. Not because they do not care, but because it feels complicated, expensive, or too far in the future to think about right now. But the cost of not planning almost always falls on the people left behind.

Swipe through to see the three most common mistakes families make without estate planning, and what you can do about them.

Greater Waco Legal Services offers estate planning services on a sliding scale fee structure, so cost is never a reason to wait.

Legal help is not just about winning a case. It is about what becomes possible on the other side of it.

A man facing a misdemeanor charge while battling cancer, who kept his freedom and his treatment. A father who waited decades to become a citizen, who finally did, with his family beside him. A patient living in unsafe conditions whose health improved when the legal barrier was removed. Families who did not know what they owned, what they were entitled to, or where to turn, found clarity when someone showed up to help.

Swipe to see what the difference actually looks like.

And if you or someone you know is facing a legal challenge, do not wait until the situation gets worse. We are here.

The Constitution was written to protect people. Their rights, their homes, their families.

But knowing those protections exist and being able to access them are two very different things. This June, we are exploring what family integrity and home security actually look like in practice: custody agreements that bring clarity, deeds that protect generational wealth, and legal guidance that keeps families stable when life gets complicated.

Because the promise written into our founding documents was never meant to be selective. It belongs to every family in Waco.

Follow along this month as we share stories, education, and resources centered around one belief: the Constitution protects families, and so do we.

Need legal help? We are here.

This month we talked about citizenship, belonging, and what it really means to have access to the legal tools that protect your family and your future. Stories like Teresa's remind us exactly why this work matters.

We heard from attorneys who take every case personally, staff members whose own families have lived this journey, and families who found stability because someone showed up for them when the system did not.

June brings a new theme: family integrity and home security. Because the Constitution protects families, and so do we.

If you or someone you know needs immigration or family legal help, we are here.

For Attorney Adriana Perkins, immigration law has never been just a practice area. It has always been personal.

Adriana grew up watching family members navigate a system they didn't fully understand, loving a country they didn't always know how to make a legal home in. That experience is part of what brought her to this work and part of what she brings to every client she serves.

"I care for you and your family, and I want to make sure that you have the best opportunity to be here in the United States as securely as possible."

At Greater Waco Legal Services, Adriana helps families with family-based petitioning, work authorization, and document renewals. If you or someone you know needs immigration legal help, visit greaterwacolegalservices.org to apply for services.
