Help find Sean Sidi

Dear Friends,

While Sean has not been located, traveling street youth have confirmed that many traveling the circuit are aware of our SEARCH for Sean.   Some are definitely keeping their eyes open for him.

To keep awareness of the search for Sean ALIVE, and to HELP those facing tough winter months on the street, we will be collecting WARM, NEW SOCKS for DISTRIBUTION to the homeless!!! 

WHEN:   With your HELP, WE WILL distribute the socks  (along with Sean’s fliers) on SUNDAY AFTERNOON, December 14, 2014 at Golden Gate Park and other locations TBA.

SOCKS, socks, SOCKS:   IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP IN THIS EFFORT, please consider bringing 1 or several pairs of NEW WARM SOCKS  (MEN SIZE 8-12 or WOMEN 6-12) TO OUR ‘SOCKS FOR SEAN’ DRIVE ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14^TH .  A wool blend would be warmest but ANY sock donation would be  GREAT.   

OTHER:  If you cannot attend, but would like to help, please email lynnkching@yahoo.com for an address to send or drop off your NEW, WARM SOCK donation. 

Thank you ALL for supporting our search for Sean these past 18 months!

Together In Hope,

Lynn, Claude & Danielle SIDI 

See www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on critically injured Sean SIDI (age 19) missing from San Francisco CA May 21, 2013. Sean may not know his name or his DIRE MEDICAL NEEDS due to a severe traumatic brain injury suffered shortly before going missing. 

Thank you to so many who emailed and messaged US with your prayers.

We will post with updated information when received. I’m not sure how long the ID process will take - several weeks to several months - depending. There are many missing persons nationwide and many homeless living in Golden Gate Park…..the remains located on Sept 9th IN GG PARK could be anyone.

It has been a very long 16 months since Sean vanished – with NO promise of an “end” regardless of the ID outcome. Nonetheless, we are extremely grateful FOR THE support we have received from all of YOU.

YOU played & continue to play A CRUCIAL ROLE in giving us a FIGHTING chance of locating Sean. There are TOO many to name & many more we have never met - but you each share a special place in our hearts….

We have NO guarantee of finding Sean or answers, but WITH YOUR HELP we retain some comfort in KNOWING that we continue to do as much as we can.

We PRAY that somehow – even without memory, that SEAN can sense how much he is LOVED....

THANK YOU ALL,
THE SIDI FAMILY

Our search for Sean continues and we accept any offers of help.

This past week, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) featured Sean on their website.  See September 3rd post at https://www.facebook.com/missingkids?ref=stream where over 1200 people shared the post about the search for Sean.  YOU DO NOT NEED A FB account to view the post.  

Last week Captain Jason Cherniss of San Francisco Police extended a hand in the search for Sean.

A supporter of the Search for Sean told me how impressed she was with Captain Jason Cherniss, the commander of the Tenderloin Police Station in San Francisco.   Given the large  (& colorful)  HOMELESS population in the Tenderloin, she urged me to seek out Captain Cherniss’ help in searching for Sean.            

Captain  Cherniss’ REPLY to  my email INFORMING him about the search for SEAN and requesting  his  HELP in circulating  Sean’s Flier to TENDERLOIN  POLICE OFFICERS  -  is set forth BELOW…….

“Lynn,

My family is very active in the Sunset, and we have consistently posted fliers around our neighborhood and at businesses. This week I will post your sons picture in our (Tenderloin Police Station) newsletter.     I will also have my staff send this flier out to every officer at Tenderloin.

I am so sorry for your family. I cannot imagine what you and your family must be going through. Please feel free to contact me anytime.”   

Jason Cherniss

We are VERY grateful to CAPTAIN CHERNISS for his help, compassion & humanity!

THANK YOU SAN FRANCISCO POLICE - FOR RESPONDING SO QUICKLY TO A "SEAN SIDI" SIGHTING TONIGHT.

Tonight, a caring San Francisco citizen called San Francisco Police on their NON-EMERGENCY LINE: 415.553.0123. She informed police of the Sean sighting at California/Polk & reminded police that SEAN was 'CRITICALLY MISSING" with a brain injury (VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR POLICE IF YOU CALL IN A SIGHTING.)

The citizen called me & advised me that POLICE from the NORTHERN STATION in San Francisco responded immediately.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT SEAN.

NONETHELESS, we would like to thank San Francisco POLICE for responding so quickly, and the SAN FRANCISCO resident for calling police on a possible Sean sighting.

You ALL - by sharing the POSTS, and LOOKING for SEAN during your DAY, allow us to HOPE that Sean may be found one day - soon!!

STARTING THIS WEEK, WE WILL START DISTRIBUTING THE ATTACHED FLIER IN AN EFFORT TO GET PEOPLE TO SEND PICTURES of "Sean".

PLEASE EMAIL lynnkching@yahoo.com with your address IF YOU CAN HELP POST 5-10 of THE NEW FLIERS ON COMMUNITY BOARDS, OR OTHER LOCATIONS WHICH MAY STAND A CHANCE OF STAYING UP FOR AWHILE.

UNCONFIRMED SEAN SIDI SIGHTING 

Yesterday, Joseph, a long-time resident of San Francisco, advised me that at @ 3:40 pm, he saw someone resembling Sean in San Francisco at 9th and Brannan St. while driving. Joseph sent me a FB message shortly thereafter, but for some reason I did not see it. “Sean” was carrying a small external framed backpack, and wearing dark pants and a light colored T-shirt. Due to traffic restrictions, Joseph was unable to turn around to confirm the sighting with a photo. Moreover, given that there are VERY FEW OF SEAN’S fliers posted in San Francisco FOR ANY DURATION, it took time for him to locate my contact information. 

Wherever you are, please keep an eye out for “Sean” and send a PHOTO of “Sean” to 415.713.5913 or lynnkching@yahoo.com, if there is a chance that someone may be OUR Sean.

Thank you to Joseph and to so many of you FOR CARING and for KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR SEAN!!! I STRONGLY BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT OUR BEST CHANCE OF FINDING SEAN RESTS WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC.    TIME AND TIME AGAIN, MISSING PERSONS HAVE BEEN located BY CARING CITIZENS.

The search for Sean CONTINUES. Today I spoke with Sean’s case manager at the ‘National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’ (NCMEC). NCMEC ‘s corporate partners, including WAL MART, are continuing to POST Sean’s NCMEC FLIER in the Western United States. See Sean’s NCMEC flier at: 

www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/1218566/1#poster

IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS SEEN one of NCMEC’s fliers of Sean, CAN YOU please SEND ME A PHOTO & THE LOCATION?

We continue to HOPE, 

Lynn, Claude and Danielle Sidi

MISSING man from Connecticut, FOUND six years later in NEW YORK – BY COMPASSIONATE POLICE

This is such a HEARTWARMING story and a tribute to this police officer's humanity! We know with certainly that SEAN, like the homeless man in this story, is unable to seek help for himself and unable to find us on his own. INSTEAD, SEAN needs US to FIND HIM!!

Please help us keep the search for Sean (Sidi) alive by helping us to post his fliers, and by sharing Sean's story with all those you meet (including POLICE officers).
