Help find Sean Sidi

We need your help to find our son

SEARCH FOR SEAN SIDI SEEKING THOSE WHO WORK IN HOSPITALS, MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS AND/OR LOW INCOME DENTAL CLINICS.

The search for Sean continues without pause. Many volunteers in and out of San Francisco are assisting with our mass mailing campaign to shelters and soup kitchens across the U.S. Others are KEEPING SEAN'S FLIERS POSTED in locations on their weekly route until SEAN IS FOUND. So many of you are also posting Sean's in other parts of California and out of state. All leads are being followed up on.

Our next goal is to get Sean's MISSING PERSON FLIER to all HOSPITALS, DENTAL CLINICS (for homeless/poor), and MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS across the UNITED STATES. WE ARE SEEKING VOLUNTEERS WHO MAY WORK AT A HOSPITAL, DENTAL OR MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC ANYWHERE IN THE U.S., willing to HELP POST SEAN'S FLIER IN THE STAFF BREAK ROOM & HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM. Please email lynnkching@yahoo.com for fliers. THANK YOU!! 

More than 5 months have passed since Sean vanished on May 21, 2013. However, we remain hopeful that we will see Sean safe, one day soon. 

PLEASE SHARE SEAN'S MISSING PERSON FLIER WITH EVERYONE THAT YOU KNOW. ONE person could make all the difference in the world......

A MESSAGE FROM DANETTE ONDI WHO IS HELPING WITH THE CAMPAIGN OF HOPE**

"Find Sean SIDI flyers are ready for the USPS to deliver to shelters and soup kitchens in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. Three Southern CA counties are next. Feels good to be doing something, but it would feel so much better if we found Sean."
 
**If you would like to volunteer in the mass mailing campaign of Sean's Missing Person Flier to homeless shelters and soup kitchens across the nation, please contact Lynn atlynnkching@yahoo.com.  We need all the help we can get.
 

 

SEARCH FOR SEAN EXPANDED TO HAWAII

On recommendation of NCMEC,**we will be expanding the search for Sean to HAWAII and providing all law enforcement, hospitals, shelters, soup kitchens, and homeless outreach advocates in HAWAII with Sean’s flier and a letter from Dr. Manley stating that Sean is at risk of DEATH. For those of you in Hawaii who would like to assist in the HAWAII search please contact Lynn’s sister, Lianne, at liching@hawaii.rr.com.   
 
Yesterday, Lynn, Sean’s mom met with ‘Project Alert’ (an arm of NCMEC whose members have law enforcement background), of the NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN (“NCMEC”)**, to discuss Sean’s case.
   
One of the recommendations of NCMEC/Project Alert is that the search for Sean be expanded to Hawaii.  There are many stories of homeless people, including those who may have no inkling of who or where they are, being given one-way tickets by various cities to other locations (including Hawaii).  Since Sean has family in Hawaii and is possibly not cognizant of who or where he is, NCMEC recommends that we expand the search to Hawaii (while continuing our search in California and the rest of the U.S in FULL FORCE).  MORE UPDATES TO COME.
 
THANK YOU to NCMEC, and to Dave and Don, of Project Alert, for assisting in the search for Sean!!  
 
** NCMEC works in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice to help law enforcement find missing children (0-21 yrs are eligible), receives federal funding, and is authorized under federal statute to assist with the recovery of missing children. NCMEC has recovered 180,000 children since it was established in 1984. IN SHORT, NCMEC IS A POWERFUL & VALUABLE RESOURCE IF YOU HAVE A MISSING CHILD.  For more information, see www.missingkids.com.

A SECOND MIRACLE IS POSSIBLE !!!! HELP NEEDED - PLEASE KEEP SHARING

As some of you know, our son, Sean (age 19) survived a horrendous accident, several months before he went missing without a trace from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013. In this accident, Sean completely shattered his skull, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, and fractured many bones throughout his face and body.   Sean was in a coma for a week, and it was unknown whether he would live.   Thanks to the extraordinary skill of the neurosurgeons at SF General, the resilience of youth, AND LUCK - Sean survived – WITH the potential for a meaningful and normal life.
 
Sean’s survival WAS a MIRACLE.  
 
While Sean was making good progress at the time he went missing on May 21, 2013, he was still in the very early stages of recovery.   Doctors have warned that due to his medical condition, Sean is at SIGNIFICANT RISK of death as a missing person, if we do not find him “soon”.    We do not know whether “soon” has come and gone.  We do know that Sean is still missing, and that our search for Sean will continue for as long as it takes to find him. 
 
HELP MAKE US FIND SEAN IN TIME  (THE SECOND MIRACLE) by SHARING Sean’s FLIER with everyone you know in the United States, and keeping an eye out for SEAN.  Due to his recent head injury, and risk of related complications (memory loss, etc.)  Sean could be far from San Francisco (if he was given a ride), and not know who or where he is.  
 
For more information on our desperate search for Sean who vanished from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013 without a trace, see www.facebook.com/findseansidi orwww.seansidi.com.   Sean is 19 yrs old, 5’5” and 120 lbs. He is of Asian/Caucasian ethnicity, has dark brown wavy hair, WEARS SILVER DENTAL BRACES, has dimples, right eye droops slightly, has scar/bump on right forehead from brain surgery.  Sean could have been given a ride very far from San Francisco.  Please take Sean to the hospital and call his parents at 415.713.5913 if you see Sean.
 
PLEASE SHARE!

UPDATE: SEAN SIDI WILL BE FEATURED ON "MISSING" AFTER ALL......

'MISSING' is a national TV show featuring the real life stories of missing persons.

In San Francisco CA, Sean will be featured on "MISSING" on Monday, October 28th, KTVU Channel 2 at 12:30 pm.

Please spread the word to your friends and families in the United States to watch "MISSING" this week. The more people who know that Sean is critically missing, the better our chances of finding Sean - in time.

UPDATE ON TV SHOW 'MISSING'

Contrary to the information we received from 'Missing', it does not appear that Sean was featured on this weeks episode of 'Missing' (episode #778). It was a big disappointment. However, I have written Larry Dunn, producer of 'Missing' and will provide updated information as to when Sean will be featured on 'Missing'. Hopefully it will be soon.  Stay Tuned.
