Help Aiden cover the fees of an asylum application so He can stay with his family.
🇺🇸 United States1,137 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,450. 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 Fresno Welcome 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $250
• Attorney retainer: $2,050
• Certified translations and document copies: $150
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you. Love from Toronto.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope things get better soon, Aiden. Hope this works out for you. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Fresno.
Keep going, Aiden. I hope things turn around soon.
Best of luck, Aiden. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Pokhara.
