Help Rylee cover the fees of a wage-theft claim so She can stay with her family.

Rylee is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,850. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Rylee 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 Rylee 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 $2,850 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $260
• Attorney retainer: $2,450
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $140

Sending strength, Ariana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from İzmir.
