How to Advocate for Global Health with Your Law Degree feat. Samora Legros

Samora Legros is an advisory manager, advocate, and board member
of the Max & Thérèse Cadet Dental Fund, Inc. In this powerful
episode, Samora and fellow board members share how a family
legacy has grown into a 33-year commitment to improving oral
healthcare in Haiti. From mobile dental clinics and maxillofacial
surgeries to supporting the next generation of Haitian dentists,
this is a story of service, strategy, and impact. You don’t have
to be a dentist to support public health—you just have to care.



How You Can Help


The Max & Thérèse Cadet Dental Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization based in the U.S. that raises funds to
directly support operations at the dental clinic in Haiti. These
funds pay for essential procedures, dental supplies, equipment
upgrades, and full maxillofacial surgeries for those who could
not otherwise afford care. Contributions of any
amount make an impact, and monthly giving provides consistent
support for this vital work.
“We are small, but boy, we carry the mountains of Haiti,”
expresses Jessie Cadet-Legros in Episode 192 of You Are a Lawyer.

Lawyers and legal professionals can support the Cadet Dental Fund
in unique ways: through strategic networking, pro bono
consulting, fundraising, and amplifying the foundation’s story.
Whether by contributing financially or helping to widen the
circle of support, advocates of all backgrounds—and especially
those with legal skills—can play a key role in sustaining the
clinic’s mission. Visit cadetdentalfund.com to get involved.
