Amparo is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Amparo 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 Amparo 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 $950 goes: • Attorney retainer: $630 • Certified translations and document copies: $70 • Filing and biometrics fees: $250 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Adriana
