Wrongful-eviction defense: Deborah needs $1,000 before the deadline
Deborah needs $1,000 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the November deadline.
🇺🇸 United States1,872 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,000. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $1,000 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $740
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
• Certified translations and document copies: $170
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Deborah. Hope you get there.
rooting for you, Deborah. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Flint
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Flint.
You're not alone, Deborah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning. Blessings

thinking of you and your family, Deborah. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
praying for you, Deborah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Yogyakarta.
