My disabled ex is unable to get low-cost housing in Missouri due to a criminal background check showing he was in prison for 10 years, which is incorrect as he was married and ran a successful business in Las Vegas during that time. He has been told by the county in Texas, where he previously lived, that it's his problem but has not been given instructions on how to correct this. We cannot afford an attorney. What steps can he take to clear his name?

I have a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in Virginia with a mission to benefit children and adults with disabilities in Bangladesh. I would like to donate the funds I have raised to a non-profit in Bangladesh, Society For The Welfare Of Autistic Children, but they are not an American nonprofit. What is the legal protocol for donating from a U.S. non-profit to an international non-profit, and can I donate to another U.S.-based organization like Autism Speaks if I am unable to donate to the Bangladeshi organization?
