Irene is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for November, 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. Irene has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Aurora Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Irene 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: $2,800 • Filing and biometrics fees: $370 • Certified translations and document copies: $230 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Beatriz

Updates from Beatriz

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and the plan for court-appointed interpreter and travel is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Aurora: I made the first payment toward certified translations and document copies. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
