Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Giorgio's family reunification petition
Help Giorgio cover the fees of a family reunification petition so He can stay with his family.

Giorgio is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,850. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Giorgio has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Giorgio 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,700
• Certified translations and document copies: $80
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
