I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,200. 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 Toronto 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 $4,200 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $560
• Attorney retainer: $3,450
• Certified translations and document copies: $190
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you peace, Sharon. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from Agra
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Quezon City!
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
