I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $350. 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 the Mumbai Community Legal 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 $350 goes: • Attorney retainer: $170 • Filing and biometrics fees: $120 • Certified translations and document copies: $45 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $15 Thank you for reading my story. - Jahid

  • Hang in there, Jahid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Cristóbal de las Casas so I could bring a meal

    • Keep going, Jahid. Hope you get there!

      • Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

        • Wishing you the best, Jahid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Cox's Bazar donated after I showed her your page
