I'm facing a citizenship application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,600. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline. I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at Limerick Welcome Centre has confirmed that my case is valid. If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know. I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $2,600 goes: โ€ข Filing and biometrics fees: $270 โ€ข Attorney retainer: $2,250 โ€ข Certified translations and document copies: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Tara
