Donatella is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $850. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Donatella has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Venice Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Donatella 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 $850 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130 • Filing and biometrics fees: $620 • Certified translations and document copies: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
