Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Gabriela's residency renewal

I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for April, 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 the Girona 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. 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: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $170 • Attorney retainer: $2,000 • Filing and biometrics fees: $480 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
