Mission: Teresa House's aim is to serve God by serving its neighbors who, because of low income, are in need of legal assistance. Teresa House workers consist of individuals, whether religious or non-religious, of all denominations nd beliefs, who seek either to serve God (however He is understood by those individuals) and/or to serve the needy with kindness, charity and love, recoginizing and reflecting the infinite value of every human life, through the contribution of whole hearted, cheerful assistance and service to low-income individuals who, becaue of their financial status, would likely be otherwise unable to participate fully in the civil justice system of the State of Wisconsin. The primary mission of Teresa House, Inc. is to help make justice accessible to low-income or "working poor" persons. Teresa House is a place in which those that wish to share their time, talent or treasure with those in need may do so by engaging in a process of directly or indirectly assisting needy individuals to obtain access to a court system that is very often accessible only to persons who can afford private lawyers.Teresa House Inc. is named in honor of Mother Teresa of Calcutta whose example of unselfish love and voluntary service has been a light to the whole world. Following her example, Teresa House exists to serve those who are seriously deprived, materially, physically, intellectually, spiritual or socially, in relation to their neighbors and who, for lack of money, are not able to partake of the justice that is rightfully theirs. Teresa House shall endeavor to relieve the burden of these individuals by offering legal information and assistance in certain areas of law to the end that these individuals may proceed effectively through the court system without an attorney.Teresa House shall be operated with economy and austerity in all things, avoiding all unnecessary expenses and sacrificing all luxuries in its business endeavors. All profits, if any, shall be used to further the work of Teresa House and shall not insure to any private benefit.
