Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Gianna's wage-theft claim
Gianna needs $3,400 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the June deadline.

Gianna is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,400. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Gianna has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Toronto Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Gianna could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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 $3,400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,700
• Filing and biometrics fees: $310
• Certified translations and document copies: $310
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
