Hi, my name is Fernanda... I am so embarrassed to do this but I am really so stress as I don't know where to get this money.
a Year and a half ago I decided to call the police as I was living in a marriage where I was abused all the time, physically and mentally, I have a daughter who is 7 years old... All the time I was the one who was working and taking care of all the expenses the 80% of the marriage. Leaving with him was such a hell on the earth.
I emigrate to Canada due to problems that my narcissist ex partner and his family was facing in our home country. I've been living here for almost 3 years working hard, having 2 jobs, it gives you to barely survive as rents here are insane but other thing that is insane is the lawyers fee. I tried to start all my process in the family court to fight for custody and child support by myself, without knowing anything and English as my second language is was not easy with all the legal terms and forms.
I made lots of mistakes and this made the process so much more slow last time I appeared they told me I have to come with lawyer. I applied for Legal Aid (is a government-funded program in ONTARIO that provides legal services to low-income individuals or people that doesn't have a job). but they refuse my application because I am "slightly above" to their parameters.
I don't really make big money, it gives me to pay the rent, utilities, bills, food, clothes for my kid, extra expenses, medicine if needed, etc. etc.
I have to pay a big amount in Canadian dollars, some of it I will cover with the rest of my savings. I have court day in a month and I have to pay her ASAP.
I don't know who else to borrow the money from so I decided to create this in case someone can allow themselves to help with something. Anything is very appreciated.
Thanks again.
