Gerald is facing a family reunification petition. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,300. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Gerald has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Regina Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Gerald 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 $3,300 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $280
• Filing and biometrics fees: $560
• Attorney retainer: $2,460
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. My neighbor in București donated after I showed her your page.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal
