Rubén is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Rubén has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Madrid Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Rubén 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 $2,150 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,400 • Filing and biometrics fees: $470 • Certified translations and document copies: $160 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $120 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hugo

    how is Rubén doing now?

    • Keep going, Hugo. Gave what I could, wish it was more!

      • Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

        • Hope it all works out, Hugo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
