I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,850. 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 the Manchester Community Legal 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.
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 $1,850 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,150
• Filing and biometrics fees: $400
• Certified translations and document copies: $220
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Tiffany
Good news. Because of your gifts ($245 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
