Wrongful-eviction defense: Salim needs $650 before the deadline

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. 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 the Naivasha Community Legal 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $650 goes: • Attorney retainer: $520 • Filing and biometrics fees: $85 • Certified translations and document copies: $35 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10 Thanks for reading all this. - Salim
