40 Years, 40 Faces: William H.

Norfolk, Virginia

When William’s landlord tried to charge him for repairs at his apartment, William contacted legal aid to ask for their help. The legal aid attorney met with William who had receipts for work completed. The attorney aided William with exiting his apartment without having to pay any additional fees. William, a stroke survivor, moved in with his brothers and continues to enjoy one of his special pleasures, H-O scale model trains.
