I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,300. 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 Sacramento Welcome 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 $2,300 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,300 • Filing and biometrics fees: $530 • Certified translations and document copies: $280 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $190 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 31 people at work. Take care.

    • hope things get better soon, Paisley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.

      • Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Haarlem.

        • Sending strength, Paisley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Sacramento.
