A few hours of disability-rights advocate time could save Surafel's home
Surafel is facing an unpaid wages claim and can't afford a lawyer; a disability-rights advocate willing to review the case for free could make the difference.
🇪🇹 Oromia, Ethiopia213 views
I'm facing an unpaid wages claim, with a hearing on September. I earn too much to qualify for legal aid on paper, but not nearly enough to pay a lawyer's retainer.
I'm looking for a qualified disability-rights advocate licensed in Oromia who might be able to review my documents, prepare me for the hearing, or take the case pro bono or on a reduced fee.
I've organized my documents chronologically, and I'll share them with the lawyer who agrees to help. I can travel to your office in Jimma or meet online.
I understand that the time of a lawyer is valuable, and I'm deeply grateful for any help or for suggestions of organizations that could assist.
Glad we found this place.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Jimma.

Hope things get better soon, Surafel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Hải Phòng so I could bring a meal. All the best.
