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

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,650. 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 Vancouver 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. The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed. Where the $2,650 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $175 • Attorney retainer: $2,000 • Filing and biometrics fees: $475 If you're reading this, thank you. - Cora

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Cora?

      Thank you. If you're in Vancouver I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

          hope it all works out, Cora. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

              Sending love, Cora. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

                everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
