Help bring my son home

Hi,

My name is Steph. I am a mother to three beautiful children aged 14, 11 and 8.

My children are my whole world, but 10 days ago, My son wasn't returned to my care.

I have previously gone through this situation with my eldest daughter and had to initiate a recovery order. I spent tens of thousands of dollars going through family court

I haven't heard from my son in this time and I'm absolutely devastated.

I have initiated a lawyer to begin the process of obtaining another recovery order in order to bring my son back home.

My lawyer is $750 an hour, she is the same person that helped me years ago with my eldest daughter.

I have several medical conditions including chronic pain, kidney and heart disease.

I'm not longer able to work due to my ill health and this is now being used against me. I have always put my children's needs before my own, they are my everything.

I've never had to ask for financial help before and I'm so ashamed to do it now, but myself and my daughters are so upset about their brother not being here with us.

So I'm asking the community for help with legal fees. As I know from previous experience, this will be costly.

Every little bit helps and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

Please help me get my son back, we miss him incredibly!
