As a heartfelt thank-you for a decade of trust and inspiration from our clients and associates, we’re excited to launch "10 Years, $10,000 Thanks" – a campaign to donate $10,000 to 10 local charities, each chosen by a member of our team.
From February through November, we’ll highlight each charity to receive $1,000, sharing its mission and the personal stories behind our team’s selections. In December, we’ll reflect on the campaign’s impact and honor these organizations at a special event. Check back here for monthly updates!
Coralia Vieira, Paralegal with PETRUSHA LAW, has nominated local non-profit We Are Up to receive this month’s $1,000 donation as part of the firm’s “10 Years, $10,000 Thanks” campaign.
Coralia shared, “The charity I’ve chosen to honor as our first recipient is We Are Up, which is near and dear to my heart as I have a nephew with autism. It is wonderful that there are members and volunteers in our community who provide a safe haven for our loved ones and treat them with empathy and kindness.”
We Are Up is developing integrated housing with 70 mixed-income rental homes for diverse residents, including people with intellectual disabilities, seniors, students, and healthcare professionals in McKinleyville. The 17-acre site will include agricultural and open spaces, an orchard, a commercial greenhouse, and a community center for gathering and enrichment opportunities. For more information, visit www.weareup.org.
Founding Attorney Angela Petrusha added, “If you’d like to join us in supporting this amazing organization, please send your donation referencing #10Y10K to: We Are Up, 144 Weirup Lane, McKinleyville, CA 95519 or you can donate online HERE. Together we can make a difference!”
