Help Viviane cover the fees of a wrongful-eviction defense so She can stay with her family.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,389 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,300. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $1,300 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $260
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
• Attorney retainer: $1,005
If you're reading this, thank you.

Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Siliguri this morning. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Viviane
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. filing and biometrics fees is the biggest at $260. Thanks for asking.
sending strength, Viviane. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
thanks for sharing this, Viviane. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Viviane. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Santos
hope things get better soon, Viviane. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
