Sandeep is facing an asylum application. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $500. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Sandeep has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Mumbai Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Sandeep 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. The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed. Where the $500 goes: • Attorney retainer: $470 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $25 • Certified translations and document copies: $5 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Rohit
