Stepping Forward Together: A Community's Walk to End Domestic Violence

Walking for a Cause: The Heartbeat of a Community

Imagine lacing up your shoes early one crisp October morning, the anticipation buzzing in the air as you stand alongside your neighbors, ready to walk for a cause that touches the heart of your community. This is exactly what Jessica Lastarza, the owner and lead attorney at We Mediate CT, and her daughter Ainsley are gearing up for. Together, they're taking on the role of co-captains for Team We Mediate & Ainsley in the upcoming Interval House Walk to End Domestic Violence on October 4, 2025. Their steps will echo the voices of countless families who seek a safe home and a hopeful future.

In Memory of Jennifer Farber Dulos

The annual Interval House Walk is more than just a fundraising event; it's a powerful statement against domestic violence in Connecticut. Jessica and Ainsley walk in memory of Jennifer Farber Dulos, a poignant reminder of the shadows cast over families navigating divorce and separation under the threat of domestic violence. Their participation underscores a profound commitment to fostering environments where every child and parent can thrive free from fear.

Fueling Hope with Every Step

Team We Mediate & Ainsley has set an ambitious goal to raise $5,000 to support Interval House's essential services, including emergency shelter, counseling, and legal advocacy. With over $1,000 already secured, the momentum is building. The call to action now extends to the West Hartford community and beyond. Whether by walking shoulder to shoulder or contributing from afar, everyone has an opportunity to partake in this transformative journey.

At its core, We Mediate CT is not just a family law firm. They represent a beacon of hope, guiding families through the storms of divorce and separation with dignity, empathy, and expertise.
