I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for October, 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 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 $600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $390
• Filing and biometrics fees: $85
• Certified translations and document copies: $55
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Quezon City
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Accra so I could bring a meal. God bless!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mthunzi?
Thank you. If you're in Sandton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
thinking of you and your family, Mthunzi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Fort Worth.
Sending good thoughts, Mthunzi. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Love from London.
