Burcu is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $550. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Burcu has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Ankara Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Burcu 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $550 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $340
• Filing and biometrics fees: $120
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
Thanks for reading all this.

rooting for you, Ali. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Burcu?
Thank you. If you're in Ankara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope things get better soon, Ali. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Hope you get there. Thinking of Ankara.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together!
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Ankara
