Help Luis with wage-theft claim filing and attorney fees
Luis needs $750 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the November deadline.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,308 views
Luis is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $750. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Luis has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Tuxtla Gutiérrez Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Luis 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 $750 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $470
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
• Filing and biometrics fees: $260
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Ignacio
Good news. Because of your gifts ($113 in total) the plan for attorney retainer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($243). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Small update. $480 so far, I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees.

You're not alone, Ignacio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
