St. Petersburg
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,250. 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 the St. Petersburg Community Legal Centre 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 $1,250 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $175 • Certified translations and document copies: $300 • Filing and biometrics fees: $775 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
