I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 Mumbai 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 $350 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $115 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10 • Attorney retainer: $225 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Dhanush

  1. Quick update: $286 raised so far (82%). I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 50% funded and I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Update from Mumbai: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
