Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Radha's citizenship application
Help Radha cover the fees of a citizenship application so She can stay with her family.

Radha is facing a citizenship application. The hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,350. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Radha 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 Radha 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $220
• Attorney retainer: $1,650
• Filing and biometrics fees: $480
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Vani. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Birmingham!
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of London!
Keep going, Vani. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
you're not alone, Vani. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of London.
