Help James with residency renewal filing and attorney fees

A residency renewal deadline is approaching and James cannot afford the lawyer.

James is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,400. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. James has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the London Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed James 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 $2,400 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $95 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $180 • Attorney retainer: $2,125 Every share and every dollar helps.
