Amanda is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $300. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Amanda 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 Amanda 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $300 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Filing and biometrics fees: $220
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon, Samuel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Feira de Santana.
Rooting for you, Samuel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
