Custody modification: Jade needs $2,500 before the deadline

I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for May, 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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: $1,800
• Filing and biometrics fees: $390
• Certified translations and document copies: $175
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $135
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
