Elsa needs $1,950 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the April deadline.
Anywhere in the world792 views
Elsa is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Elsa has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Gothenburg Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Elsa 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 $1,950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,300
• Filing and biometrics fees: $300
• Certified translations and document copies: $260
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
Every share and every dollar helps.

any update on how things are going in Gothenburg?
Take care, Per. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Baton Rouge.
Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
You're not alone, Per. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Butwal
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Elsa
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($1,300) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Bengaluru donated after I showed her your page.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
Take care, Per. Shared this with my family.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Love from London
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Per. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Ankara!
