Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Aline's asylum application
Help Aline cover the fees of an asylum application so She can stay with her family.

I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for September, 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 Duque de Caxias 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:
• Attorney retainer: $870
• Filing and biometrics fees: $250
• Certified translations and document copies: $60
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Praying for you, Aline. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. After 16 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope things get better soon, Aline. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
