Olivia is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Olivia has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Olivia 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 $3,450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,650
• Filing and biometrics fees: $500
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
With deep gratitude,
Marilyn

Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending strength, Marilyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
