Legal fees for Divya's wrongful-eviction defense in Thane
Divya needs $450 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the May deadline.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 Thane 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 $450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $330
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $15
• Filing and biometrics fees: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope May is when things finally get easier
