Wrongful-eviction defense: Rekha needs $450 before the deadline
Rekha needs $450 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the December deadline.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, IndiaPosted Oct 1, 20261,172 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. 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 $450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $340
• Filing and biometrics fees: $55
• Certified translations and document copies: $35
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
I hope life is good to you.

sending strength, Rekha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from San Cristóbal de las Casas.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Zapopan but we're thinking of you.
sending love, Rekha. Hope you get there. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Rekha. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Pasig.
Wishing you peace, Rekha. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hope it all works out, Rekha. Looking forward to the next update. After 19 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mumbai

You're not alone, Rekha. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
So sorry you're going through this, Rekha. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
