Ömer needs $1,000 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the December deadline.

I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,000. 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 Antalya 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.
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 $1,000 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $830
• Certified translations and document copies: $35
• Filing and biometrics fees: $135
Every share and every dollar helps.
