Legal fees for Awino's family reunification petition in Nakuru
Awino needs $500 for filing fees and representation in a family reunification petition before the April deadline.

I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $500. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $500 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Certified translations and document copies: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Awino?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about court-appointed interpreter and travel, advice is welcome too. Good question.
Stay strong, Awino. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
take care, Awino. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
