Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Avery's residency renewal

A residency renewal deadline is approaching and Avery cannot afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,600. 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 Manchester Welcome 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 $3,600 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,700 • Filing and biometrics fees: $580 • Certified translations and document copies: $175 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $145 With deep gratitude, Avery

Updates from Avery

  1. We're at 67% thanks to 70 of you. the plan for attorney retainer is now scheduled. More news soon.

  2. Small update. $1,585 so far, I made the first payment toward court-appointed interpreter and travel.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,039 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
