GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. A website has been created to help raise money for the family of Tyler and William Jensen, the young brothers left in a car on the Grand Mesa.

The boy's grandparents filed for a preliminary injunction last week to prevent cremation of the boys remains, which is what the boy's biological mother, Heather Jensen, wanted.

The judge issued the preliminary injunction, but also required the grandparents to pay $5,000. They continue to raise that money, as of Friday they had $2,300. Community members can go on the website to donate money.

The grandparents hope to use additional funds to give the children a Christian burial.
