Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Colette's asylum application

Colette needs $2,300 for filing fees and representation in an asylum application before the December deadline.

I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,300. 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 Marseille 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 $2,300 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,300 • Filing and biometrics fees: $680 • Certified translations and document copies: $170 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings

      Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from London.
