Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Rashidi's wage-theft claim
Rashidi needs $450 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the October deadline.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya965 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $240
• Filing and biometrics fees: $150
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Warangal so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from Jalandhar.
