🇰🇪 Kenya455 views
Fatuma is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Fatuma has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Nairobi Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Fatuma 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 $550 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Filing and biometrics fees: $75
Thanks for reading all this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($460 in total) I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $371 so far, we've started the first stage.
