Tammy is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,850. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Tammy 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 Tammy 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $3,850 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,900 • Filing and biometrics fees: $520 • Certified translations and document copies: $270 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $160 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
