Jordan is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Jordan has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Swansea Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Jordan 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 $700 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $170 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $200 • Filing and biometrics fees: $330 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Gabriella

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 4% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward certified translations and document copies. More news soon.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 3% funded and the first invoice got paid this week. - Gabriella
