Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Tracey's family reunification petition
Help Tracey cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.

Tracey is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $850. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Tracey 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 Tracey 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 $850 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25
• Certified translations and document copies: $55
• Attorney retainer: $770
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Ayanda. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Rooting for you, Ayanda. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Ekurhuleni.
