I'm facing a residency renewal. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,850. 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 San Diego 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 $4,850 goes: • Attorney retainer: $3,850 • Filing and biometrics fees: $520 • Certified translations and document copies: $260 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $220 Thank you so much. - Santiago

            Keep going. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
