“My goal is to provide legal aid for underprivileged families to make sure they get the defense that US citizens are entitled to. In the US today many people cannot afford representation and are stuck with lawyers that are working for them because they have to.I would like to change that stigma and actually make a difference for these people and help them.”
The members of Smith Mountain Lake Women’s Club (SMLWC) hope you will join them in congratulating the 2021 SMLWC Scholarship recipient, Madeline Sellers.
