Liliana is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,900. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Liliana has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Los Angeles Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Liliana 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 $2,900 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $660
• Attorney retainer: $2,200
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Dustin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Los Angeles.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Amritsar so I could bring a meal. All the best
you're not alone, Dustin. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Dustin. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Los Angeles!
