Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Zoe's family reunification petition
Help Zoe cover the fees of a family reunification petition so She can stay with her family.
Anywhere in the world1,250 views
Zoe is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,250. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Zoe has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Athens Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Zoe 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 $1,250 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $310
• Attorney retainer: $900
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Athens
Thank you. If you're in Athens I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Good luck, Spyridon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Athens.
