Coady Law recently contributed the talents of Attorney Michelle Coady to Gladney Center for Adoption to paint a mural alongside the girls at the Gladney Home in Fort Worth, Texas. Gladney Home is a home for older girls in care and offers a safe, therapuetic and loving environment for girls in the foster care system in the State of Texas.

It was an amazing experience to work side by side the girls in the home to produce the mural. We are so happy to be able to partner with an organization like Gladney. Every child deserves a loving family. Thank you, Gladney, for all you do for kids throughout the world!
