Colombo
I'm facing an unlawful eviction, with a hearing on November. I earn too much to qualify for legal aid on paper, but not nearly enough to pay a lawyer's retainer. I'm looking for a qualified disability-rights advocate licensed in Western who might be able to review my documents, prepare me for the hearing, or take the case pro bono or on a reduced fee. I've organized my documents chronologically, and I'll share them with the lawyer who agrees to help. I can travel to your office in Colombo or meet online. I understand that the time of a lawyer is valuable, and I'm deeply grateful for any help or for suggestions of organizations that could assist. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Praying for you, Indika. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 28 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
