I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. 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 Bordeaux 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 $650 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $340
• Certified translations and document copies: $165
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $145
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you peace, Odette. This could happen to any of us
Thinking of you and your family, Odette. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Best of luck, Odette. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal.
