Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Purvi's wage-theft claim

I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $100. 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 Durgapur 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 $100 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $20 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35 • Filing and biometrics fees: $45 If you're reading this, thank you.
