Mercedes came from Guadalajara, Jalisco, and built her life in the United States through hard work. First in warehouses. Then caring for an elderly woman. Until an accident took away her ability to work and her husband made the call that changed everything.

It was her husband who saw the reality first: with that condition, Mercedes was not going to be able to keep working. He was the one who reached out to Casa de la Justicia.

From day one, they didn’t charge her a cent. They told her not to worry about payments. The team developed her case: the spina bifida she was born with, the Achilles tendon injury, and how the two conditions together prevented her from working.

Mercedes won her case. Today she receives approximately $1,200 per month in Social Security Disability payments.

With that money she supports her family. She buys food. She helps pay the rent which, as she says, is very expensive. She covers her personal necessities. It is the stable income her family needed when working stopped being an option.

Mercedes recommends Casa de la Justicia to her friends and family, because they helped her significantly when she needed it most.

Her case shows something important: it doesn’t matter if your condition is from birth, from an accident, or both. What matters is whether it prevents you from working and that your case is presented the right way.
