Wrongful-eviction defense: Esther needs $600 before the deadline
Esther needs $600 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the September deadline.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. 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 Kasarani 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $600 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Filing and biometrics fees: $125
• Attorney retainer: $445
I hope life is good to you.
- Esther

Take care. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Kasarani.
Thanks for sharing this, Esther. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
