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

Isaac is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Isaac 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 Isaac 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 $3,950 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $95
• Filing and biometrics fees: $790
• Attorney retainer: $3,065
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Stephanie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
wishing you peace, Stephanie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Bacolod
Thanks for sharing this, Stephanie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of San Diego
Hope things get better soon, Stephanie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
