Chantel is facing a family reunification petition. 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.
Chantel has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Sandton Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Chantel 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:
• Attorney retainer: $610
• Filing and biometrics fees: $145
• Certified translations and document copies: $60
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck, Clinton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Ottawa.
