Pieter is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,400. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Pieter has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Haarlem Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Pieter 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 $2,400 goes: • Filing and biometrics fees: $450 • Certified translations and document copies: $155 • Attorney retainer: $1,795 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Milan

  1. Thank you all. We're at 44% now ($1,063). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($165 in total) the plan for attorney retainer is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
