Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($5). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees.
35% there. the plan for filing and biometrics fees is now scheduled. Thank you.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 35% funded and I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts.

Is filing and biometrics fees the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. filing and biometrics fees comes first ($55) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Who gets the funds, you or the attorney?
It comes to me first, then I pay the attorney myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Appreciate you taking the time.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
How is Shakil doing now?
Good luck, Shakil. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Lagos.
Thanks for sharing this, Shakil. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bandung.
