Angela is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Angela has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Akron Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Angela 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 $4,150 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,250
• Filing and biometrics fees: $450
• Certified translations and document copies: $340
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Lawrence. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Akron.
