Barasa is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Barasa has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Mombasa Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Barasa 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. The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed. Where the $600 goes: • Attorney retainer: $470 • Filing and biometrics fees: $85 • Certified translations and document copies: $15 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
