Ian is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,650. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Ian has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at El Paso Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Ian 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 $3,650 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $260 • Filing and biometrics fees: $750 • Attorney retainer: $2,640 Thank you for reading my story.
