Legal fees for Wekesa's wrongful-eviction defense in Thika
Wekesa needs $450 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the May deadline.

Wekesa is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Wekesa has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Wekesa 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 $450 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $65
• Attorney retainer: $370
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $15
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Tabitha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Osaka.
Sending love, Tabitha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Thinking of Thika.
best of luck, Tabitha. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from East London.
