When Nickel was a little boy a friend of his father's came into his classroom. He told him he had to leave the country, because if he didn't he would be killed just shocked by the news like his father. Now that he is older he is unable to go back to his birth country.
In 2009, the family's refugee applications were finally approved. After they were settled in Shepparton in regional Victoria. Nickel now paints and carves and continues to attend English classes so that he can work on his accent. He hopes to make a living as a professional artist. Their sons Gaspy and Exaucé were found in 2011 and are trying to join the family in Shepparton. Guillian remains missing. Life is not easy. English is a hard language to learn and unemployment is high in Shepparton, especially amongst recent refugees. The family became Australian citizens in 2014.
