Wrongful-eviction defense: Hanna needs $3,100 before the deadline
Hanna needs $3,100 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the April deadline.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,100. 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 Malmö Welcome 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 $3,100 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130
• Certified translations and document copies: $80
• Attorney retainer: $2,890
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Hanna. Looking forward to the next update. After 14 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Yokohama
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Malmö
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about court-appointed interpreter and travel, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Sending love, Hanna. 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 Berlin.
Take care. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Enugu this morning. Love from Enugu
Hang in there, Hanna. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Toledo.
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
