Wrongful-eviction defense: Bella needs $2,000 before the deadline
Help Bella cover the fees of a wrongful-eviction defense so She can stay with her family.
🇬🇧 Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom2,911 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,000. 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 the Cardiff Community Legal 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 $2,000 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,200
• Filing and biometrics fees: $590
• Certified translations and document copies: $95
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $115
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength, Bella. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
How is Bella doing now?
hope it all works out, Bella. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Howrah donated after I showed her your page. Love from Howrah.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Cardiff.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Cardiff
So sorry you're going through this, Bella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
