Wage-theft claim: Abigail needs $3,700 before the deadline
Help Abigail cover the fees of a wage-theft claim so She can stay with her family.
🇺🇸 Tucson, Arizona, United States2,005 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,700. 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 the Tucson Community Legal 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 $3,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,950
• Filing and biometrics fees: $340
• Certified translations and document copies: $270
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Abigail. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Stay strong, Abigail. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 13 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Abigail. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best!
