GoFundMe<\/a> to help in their fight, with a goal of reaching $200,000. So far $18,707 has beenr raised. <\/p>\n\u201cAs their aunt, I am determined to bring my nephews home to Australia so they can grow up safe, loved, and surrounded by family who will protect them and help them heal,\u201d she wrote on the donation page.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter speaking with our legal team, we have been advised that the fastest and safest way to secure placement of the boys with our family is for us to temporarily relocate to Florida for up to 12 months.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe children currently do not have US birth certificates or Social Security numbers, which has created major delays. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe also need to complete the process for Australian citizenship by descent. All of this takes time, money, and our physical presence in America.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur family is fully committed to this long haul. We are walking away from our businesses for a time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will step away from my tennis coaching business, and my dad Tony will pause his photography business, because these boys are worth every sacrifice. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are investing everything we have into giving Jesse and Elijah the best possible chance at life. <\/p>\n
\u201cMeaghan would have wanted nothing more than to see her children safe and thriving here in Australia with their loving family.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll funds raised will go directly toward bringing Jesse and Elijah home to Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n
The family have outlined where they plan to use any funds donated, which includes temporary accommodation and living expenses in the US, flights for family members, legal and court costs, as well as documentation and citizenship processes.<\/p>\n
