Wesley is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,200. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Wesley 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 Wesley 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 $3,200 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,350 • Filing and biometrics fees: $730 • Certified translations and document copies: $70 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Colton

  • Hope it all works out, Colton. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Cincinnati.

    • Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out

      • wishing you peace, Colton. Shared it with a few friends.

        • So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

            sending love, Colton. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Mérida.

            • sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

              • it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
