Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Ganesh's work-permit appeal
Ganesh needs $650 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the November deadline.

I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Filing and biometrics fees: $145
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30
With deep gratitude,
Ganesh

rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Manila.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Take care, Ganesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Entebbe so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Durgapur.
Hang in there, Ganesh. Shared this with my family. After 19 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
stay strong, Ganesh. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Good luck, Ganesh. Hope this works out for you. God bless
thinking of you and your family, Ganesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thinking of you, Ganesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
