Help Mariana with asylum application filing and attorney fees
Mariana needs $700 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the November deadline.

Mariana is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Mariana has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Belo Horizonte Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Mariana 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 $700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $370
• Filing and biometrics fees: $195
• Certified translations and document copies: $80
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
