A few hours of immigration lawyer time could save Buddhini's home
Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Buddhini.
🇱🇰 Western, Sri Lanka375 views
I'm facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions, with a hearing on November. 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 immigration lawyer licensed in Western 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 Dehiwala 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.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Dehiwala.
Thanks for sharing this, Buddhini. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope things get better soon, Buddhini. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.

You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Casablanca.
