I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,200. 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 the Glendale Community Legal 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 $1,200 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $740 • Certified translations and document copies: $230 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $230 Thank you so much.

    Sending love, Alexander. Shared it with a few friends.

    • Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
