Eduardo needs $1,050 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the November deadline.

Eduardo is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,050. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Eduardo has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Juiz de Fora Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Eduardo 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 $1,050 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $820
• Filing and biometrics fees: $160
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

stay strong, Ana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope things get better soon, Ana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Juiz de Fora
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Nice
