I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $605. 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 Naivasha 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 $605 goes: • Attorney retainer: $450 • Filing and biometrics fees: $105 • Certified translations and document copies: $45 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $5 Thanks for being kind about this. - Ruth

Updates from Ruth

  1. Update from Naivasha: the plan for attorney retainer is now scheduled. We're at 39% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 27% now ($165). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Small update. $75 so far, the plan for court-appointed interpreter and travel is now scheduled.
