Abhishek is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Abhishek has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Abhishek 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 $2,700 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $510 • Attorney retainer: $2,050 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $140 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Lata

    Wishing you peace, Lata. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you.

      Sending good thoughts, Lata. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Durgapur!
