Help Sônia with wrongful-eviction defense filing and attorney fees
Sônia needs $300 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the September deadline.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil781 views
Sônia is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $300. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Sônia has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Campinas Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Sônia 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 $300 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55
• Filing and biometrics fees: $205
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Guilherme. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Campinas
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sônia?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about certified translations and document copies, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this, Guilherme. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Zaria but we're thinking of you.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Mandaue.
Praying for you, Guilherme. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Soweto
