Bruna is facing a residency renewal. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Bruna has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Petrópolis Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Bruna 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 $950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $650
• Certified translations and document copies: $85
• Filing and biometrics fees: $215
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Adama.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Looking forward to the next update. I hope December is when things finally get easier!
