I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $350. 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 Mombasa 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 $350 goes: โ€ข Attorney retainer: $210 โ€ข Filing and biometrics fees: $65 โ€ข Certified translations and document copies: $40 โ€ข Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Good luck, Amani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!

    • Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Mombasa.
