Custody modification: Rajeshwari needs $105 before the deadline

A custody modification deadline is approaching and Rajeshwari can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $105. 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 Hyderabad 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 $105 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $65 • Certified translations and document copies: $35 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5 With deep gratitude, Rajeshwari
