Lawrence is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,850. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Lawrence has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Lawrence 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 $1,850 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,000 • Filing and biometrics fees: $540 • Certified translations and document copies: $195 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $115 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Daniel

  2. We're at 24% thanks to 13 of you. I made the first payment toward court-appointed interpreter and travel. More news soon.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($638). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward attorney retainer.
