🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States528 views
Claudia is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,750. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Claudia has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Fort Worth Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Claudia 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 $3,750 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,700
• Filing and biometrics fees: $650
• Certified translations and document copies: $280
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $120
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Heliopolis but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Heliopolis
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
