Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Juliana's work-permit appeal

Juliana is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $900. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Juliana 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 Juliana 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 $900 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $95
• Attorney retainer: $760
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Juliana?
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Lahore.
gave what I could, wish it was more. After 28 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!
Sending strength, Heloísa. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. All the best.
