urgent legal fees needed for asylum seeker $5,950 due 5/13 "Mathias" organized for liberal reform and organizing voter drives in rural areas in his home country of El Salvador-he fled seeking asylum in the US when members of the opposition party attacked him and his son in their home with machetes, almost killing his son and severely wounding Mathias. His final immigration court hearing is in two days, and he's been able to obtain a lawyer but his down payment of $5,950 is due Wed May 13. This is a rare case that has a high chance of being granted if a lawyer is present. All donations will go to Mathias' legal fees to help him and his son stay in the US where they can find safety and healing. donate gofund.me/0146f9d56
