Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Eliane's wrongful-eviction defense
Help Eliane cover the fees of a wrongful-eviction defense so She can stay with her family.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 Caxias do Sul 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 $400 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
• Filing and biometrics fees: $270
• Certified translations and document copies: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
