Angel is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Angel has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Angel could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $2,450 goes: β€’ Certified translations and document copies: $90 β€’ Attorney retainer: $2,200 β€’ Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $160 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Wendy

    Sending love, Wendy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal

    • Marta Genet Tadesse

      So sorry you're going through this, Wendy. Your post was clear and honest.

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Makati
