Help Melanie with wage-theft claim filing and attorney fees

A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Melanie can't afford the lawyer.

Melanie is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Melanie has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at London Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Melanie 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 $2,100 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,400 • Filing and biometrics fees: $410 • Certified translations and document copies: $125 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $165 With deep gratitude, Grace

    Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Duisburg this morning.

      Stay strong. Hope you get there. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
