Alejandra needs $4,150 for filing fees and representation in a work-permit appeal before the September deadline.

I'm facing a work-permit appeal. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,150. 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 Syracuse 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 $4,150 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,300
• Filing and biometrics fees: $460
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $180
Thank you for reading my story.
