Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Brooks's wrongful-eviction defense

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,450. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $3,450 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,900 • Filing and biometrics fees: $360 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $190 Every share and every dollar helps.

            sending strength, Brooks. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

              You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 26 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
