I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,300. 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 Irapuato Welcome 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 $1,300 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $260
• Attorney retainer: $1,000
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thinking of you, Marta. Hope you get there. All the best
Praying for you, Marta. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Good luck, Marta. Shared this with my family
