Emmaus House Inc Fundraiser
Our “Diaper and Formula Drive” for Emmaus, Inc. was a great success. We got to meet with Denise Arnold, Gifts In-Kind Manager at Emmaus Inc., and see their great operation and internal food bank for residents. They’re doing great work in Haverhill, helping the homeless get back on their feet. We had no idea how large of an operation they are and how many people they are able to help as a result. Special thanks to Boston 25 News, SLS Consulting, and the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce for their donations.
Writing the Future Scholarship
No one should have to go without an education. If that education is in the form of a college or university, DiBella Law Offices, P.C., is glad to help out aspiring students. Our Writing the Future Scholarship was launched in 2017 and we’ve had the very great pleasure to give the following young scholars an award for post-secondary educational expenses.
Our 2022 Winner:
“[Mom] has always told me to keep being me and go to school, so I can get a career and a stable job with enough money to live a comfortable life. I knew that I did not want just to have a regular job that most people have. I wanted to provide my mom and my family with the best that life can offer, and I know that through learning and acquiring knowledge it will be possible.”
– Jose S., 2022 Scholarship Winner
Jose S. shared a story about his mother cleaning houses in affluent neighborhoods and being underpaid for it. His essay demonstrates newfound appreciation for everything that she’s done to provide a better life for him, and it is clear to us at DiBella Law Offices, P.C. that this realization has sparked energy and drive within Jose that will surely propel him toward a future to be proud of. Read his essay.
Our 2021 Winner:
“Living at home with a wheelchair and walker had its own challenges. Living at home with my grandmother as his primary caregiver presented even more.”

Megan M. reminded us that simple acts of kindness can mean the world to others. Her devotion to helping her grandparents with everyday chores and being a shoulder to lean on perfectly embodies the compassion and strength of spirit DiBella Law Offices, P.C., looks for in our Writing the Future Scholarship.

Our 2020 Winner:

– Jean-Edward M., 2020 Scholarship Winner
Jean-Edward M. demonstrated amazing fortitude and strength in standing up against racial discrimination and working to raise awareness about stereotyping in his community.

Car Seat Giveaway (April 2022)
In Spring 2022, DiBella Law Offices gave away a car seat as part of a child safety campaign. When winner of the giveaway Kate Bradbury’s name was selected, we found out that she actually has twin 4-month-old boys, so we surprised the mom of two with a second brand new car seat as well.
Therapy Dogs for Parker Middle School
In the fall of 2021, we donated $5000 dollars to Parker Middle School in Chelmsford, MA to help them fund therapy dogs for the children as part of Boston 25’s “My School Rules” contest. It turns out that instead of just bringing dogs in, they bought their very own community resource dog, not just for their school but for others in the Chelmsford Community, too! Boston 25 Covered the story and we were there this morning as the new resource dog was given a name! Welcome Officer Ozzie.
Boston 25 – “My School Rules” Giveaway
DiBella Law Offices, P.C., partnered with Boston 25 News to give away $5,000 to a local Elementary, Middle, and High School. We strive to honor great schools that help students achieve their best.

Toy Drive 2021
We know the last couple of years have been rough on everyone, especially children. So DiBella Law partnered up with the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence and took donations for kids 7 and up in December of 2021. The toys were distributed by “Santa” which helped bring some cheer during these difficult times.
Good Deeds by DiBella
Need a little financial assistance right now? DiBella Law Offices, P.C., works with respected charitable organizations like Friends of the Children to give back to our Massachusetts community.

Our past recipients:
On April 11, 2019, we were happy to help a local Boston family out by providing them with money for rent and food. We worked with Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program to accomplish this.
A close relative passed away, and Jerezz and his family were in dire need of groceries. Because of the government shutdown, there were no food stamps available. DiBella Law Offices, P.C., lent a hand on April 9, 2019.
Michael M. asked for some help purchasing a small refrigerator and some foodstuffs. He got it on April 5, 2019, from Christopher DiBella and staff. Thanks to Pine Street Inn Homeless Shelter for helping us to arrange it!
