Nelson Shardey thanked everyone who raised thousands for his legal challenge to the Home Office
A Merseyside dad said he is “very, very grateful” after more than 1,000 people supported his legal challenge against the Home Office.
The family set up a fundraising campaign to help cover these potential costs which they estimate to be around £20,000 but it has now received more than 1,000 donations and raised more than £29,000. However if they win the case against the government, all of this will go towards two charities. He said: “It is a warning to the Home Office to interpret the law in a proper and humane way. I am really really grateful to everybody and it gives me hope to live in a country that stands for fairness.
“They keep on delaying it and they just keep adding fees so I don’t know. We can relax a little bit. We don’t know how much it will cost but what has been raised is unbelievable.” “The Home Office and government should be ashamed of how they have treated him and his family. I’m behind you all the way.”
