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

I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,000. 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 Victoria 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 $2,000 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $330
• Certified translations and document copies: $110
• Attorney retainer: $1,560
Glad we found this place.
