I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. 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 İzmir 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 $700 goes: • Attorney retainer: $390 • Filing and biometrics fees: $190 • Certified translations and document copies: $65 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Onur

    Stay strong, Onur. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
