Caleb needs $4,250 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the November deadline.

Caleb is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,250. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Caleb 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 Caleb 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110
• Attorney retainer: $3,700
• Filing and biometrics fees: $440
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, James. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of San Antonio
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Puebla so I could bring a meal.
Take care, James. Hope this works out for you. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Antonio
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from London.
Wishing you the best, James. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Thinking of San Antonio.
wishing you the best, James. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Los Angeles.
