Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Camille's wage-theft claim
Help Camille cover the fees of a wage-theft claim so She can stay with her family.

I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,350. 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 Toronto 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 $2,350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,400
• Filing and biometrics fees: $750
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $200

Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
