Help Hailey with wrongful-eviction defense filing and attorney fees
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Hailey can't afford the lawyer.
🇨🇦 Hamilton, Ontario, Canada4,343 views
Hailey is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,000. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Hailey has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Hamilton Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Hailey 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 $3,000 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $145
• Attorney retainer: $2,800
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,099 in total) I made the first payment toward court-appointed interpreter and travel. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
