I Live Here, I Give Here had this to say about David:

“Each year I Live Here, I Give Here selects one BIG Giver, who has given their time, talent, expertise, and funds to one of our partner organizations. A BIG Giver is an advocate for their chosen organization; who has created a long-lasting and personal impact on the community. David was selected from our seven finalists after several rounds of very competitive voting.

Volunteer Legal Services (VLS) nominated David for his work as a pro bono attorney specializing in Immigration Law. VLS’s mission is to help low-income clients access the civil justice system by providing volunteer attorneys who donate free legal advice and representation, and by supporting and training those attorneys.”
