It is thanks to the initial engagement and support of Luella Slaner, more than 20 years ago, and the continued dedication of Luella's daughter, Deborah Slaner Larkin, that My Sisters’ Place Center for Legal Services was born, enabling the agency to provide free legal advice and representation to survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. We are eternally grateful to Luella and Deborah for their many years of friendship and for believing so strongly in the mission of My Sisters’ Place.
