Itzel needs $2,500 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the September deadline.

I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,500. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at the Valencia Community Legal Centre has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,950
• Filing and biometrics fees: $370
• Certified translations and document copies: $105
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $75
With deep gratitude,
Itzel

Wishing you peace, Itzel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Colombo.
Hope it all works out, Itzel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Mardan!
Best of luck, Itzel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. Love from Lagos.
