Search for Sean SIDI - August 6, 2014

Last week, we and several hundred of SEAN'S Uncles, Aunts and Cousins from the Yan Quong Ching family - across the U.S. met in Hawaii for a family reunion (held every 2 years) spanning 5 days, and ending with a beach luau in Hauula!! So great to see everyone!! We would like to thank so many family members who have supported the SEARCH FOR SEAN over the last YEAR, and who came up to us during the reunion to offer words of support. 

Currently, we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best as HURRICANE Iselle and Julio head towards Hawaii. The hurricanes will hopefully weaken to a survivable level….We are currently stocking food, filling containers with water & enjoying the LAST sunny day before the winds and rain HIT the island. 

We tried to fly out today to avoid the hurricane but could not secure a flight. Therefore, we join the masses in riding on the hurricane (hopefully not) or tropical storm (preferable to hurricane, but still scary)….. Thank you to JAN & FRED for housesitting! 

Regardless of how long we are hurricane bound, we HOPE that wherever you are - you will continue to search for SEAN. keep an eye out for him, and SHARE the posts. Recently, we received several comments regarding a GG park worker who believed she saw "Sean" near GG Park several months ago. This is unconfirmed. However, we will reinvigorate the search in this area in HOPES of reaching mobile street youth who many encounter Sean. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SEAN'S BRAIN INJURY stacks the ODDS of survival against him as per his neurosurgeon. HE is NOT "VOLUNTARILY" MISSING. NOR IS HE AWARE OF HIS MEDICAL NEEDS. PLEASE TAKE A PICTURE AND SEND TO 415.713.5913 if there is even a 1% chance it is Sean.    Sean is 20 yrs old, 5'5", 120 lbs., Asian/White, wears silver dental braces, dk brown eyes & dk brown wavy hair, scar on right forehead from brain injury.

Search for Sean SIDI - July 27, 2014

Today, Claude (Sean's dad), Danielle (Sean's sister) and Danielle's friends are out water skiing, swimming and tubing on Lake Sonoma. It makes me happy to know that Danielle is smiling and laughing with her friends...

I am desperately working on regaining some sense of ...?? healing?? happiness?? Not sure what the words are. Unfortunately, I do not know if that is possible given the depth of my sense of loss.

I thought I knew love - until Sean (my firstborn) & his sister arrived.. There are no words to describe THAT feeling is there? That - that love could burn even brighter and stronger as time passed - was amazing!! All parents know what I am saying. In the back of my mind, I knew those feeling made me vulnerable to incomparable pain should something happen to Sean (or Danielle). But how could it? Like every parent, I took every care and precaution I could!!!

I still cannot believe that this happened to my funny, articulate, personable boy - who made us smile and laugh so much?!!! Last week a family found their 18 year old autistic son who went missing in Los Angleles - 20 days after he went missing. He was dehydrated and hurt, but ALIVE. WHY could WE not locate Sean when he needed us??!! How do we live with this guilt?

... I recently spoke to a cafe owner in Eugene OR who claimed to have seen someone resembling Sean. He did recall braces....& claims to have seen "Sean" late spring/early summer. On the other hand he says there are SO many street youth and MANY missing persons fliers in Eugene. I hope that he calls me if he sees "Sean" again.

THANK YOU to all those continuing to POST Sean's fliers. PLEASE send PICTURES & location so that we can POST. It is good to know where the fliers are. Claude saw a black & white flier in Berkeley yesterday - Please send PM or email lynnkching@yahoo.com with your ADDRESS to have fliers MAILED TO YOU anywhere in the U.S....I still have BOXES & BOXES of Sean's fliers.

Picture of Sean (far right) with good friends Paul and Nobuo. It was good to see Paul and Nobuo this summer!!! They along with Sean's many other friends (& their parents) - filled our house with laughter and precious memories for so many years. Sleepovers, birthday parties, soccer matches, parent parties...the memories are endless!!!

Pictures & Comments at 2014 Rainbow Family Gathering in Utah re: Search for Sean SIDI

Last week, Claude (Sean’s dad), and friends Randy & Steve attended the July 2014 Rainbow Family gathering in Utah, to spread the word about the SEARCH FOR SEAN (SIDI). They TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE & DISTRIBUTED Sean’s fliers, and "Sean TOOTHBRUSHES" engraved with “seansidi.com 415.713.5913”.

SOME remembered Claude’s search of Sean in Montana, LAST YEAR at THE July 2013 RAINBOW gathering in Montana.

MANY said that they had seen Sean’s FLIERS at REST STOPS along the drive from California to UTAH (thanks to many of YOU POSTING SEAN’S FLIERS!!).

One young man insisted he saw Sean in Boulder, COLORADO. Coincidentally, Sean was enrolled at U of Colorado at Boulder before his accident. Please SHARE SEAN’S FLIER with those YOU KNOW in Boulder, Colorado!

ALL those whom Claude met at the Rainbow Family gathering WARMLY SUPPORTED Claude’s SEARCH FOR SEAN, and said they would keep an eye open for him.

BELOW ARE PICTURES FROM THE 2014 Rainbow Family Gathering. CLAUDE (Sean’s DAD) is in a WHITE T-SHIRT & COWBOY HAT. Note that MANY in the photos are holding their “seansidi.com 415.713.5913” TOOTHBRUSHES,

Search for Sean SIDI going to THE RAINBOW FAMILY GATHERING IN UTAH (July 2014)

AS SOME of YOU may know, on May 21, 2013, the day that Sean vanished from San Francisco, CA, Sean’s last CELL PHONE call WAS PINGED by police to the eastern end of Golden Gate Park.  Coincidentally, people headed to the Rainbow Family gathering (in Montana in 2013) were at Golden Gate Park at SAME DATE, TIME AND LOCATION of Sean’s cell phone ping. 

We do NOT know whether members of the Rainbow Family gave Sean a ride.  We DO know that Sean REMAINS MISSING, since vanishing without a trace from San Francisco on May 21, 2013.  

Last Year, Claude (Sean's dad) traveled to the Rainbow Family gathering in Montana to search for Sean.  The Rainbow Family warmly supported Claude in his search for Sean.  This year (July 2014), friends of the search for Sean Sidi, will travel to the Rainbow Family gathering in UTAH, to spread the word about the search for Sean.

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD about the search for SEAN SIDI !!!!   If YOU know anyone traveling to the Rainbow Family gathering AND/or anyone WHO  LIVES in UTAH,  PLEASE have them keep an EYE OPEN FOR SEAN.

To Sean SIDI & FAMILY in HOPE

We have received so many touching letters over the past year. Joanne's letter (below) struck a chord deep in my heart - and still does - for many reasons. Thank you Joanne and to so many of you, whose support has helped our family survive the past year with hope and dignity. 


Lynn, Claude & Danielle Sidi

 

******************* Letter From Joanne Olivieri *********************

"It was a year ago today and about the same time in the evening when my coworker at the Botanical Garden alerted me that Sean was missing and his family had come through the gardens on bikes searching for him. When I saw the photo they left at the kiosk, my heart dropped. Sean would come into the garden with his sister and his friends and always had that sweet and shy smile on his face. He loved it there and we loved seeing him there.


I cannot believe it's been a year. Since that time, Sean, a day has not gone by that I haven't thought of you and looked to the homeless on the streets in the hopes of finding you. I am ashamed to admit that I really never gave much attention to the homeless until now. I've searched Golden Gate Park many times for you and still lookout for you when I am there.

I just hope that wherever you are, that you are not sick and somehow find your way back home to your family. Each night when I go to bed I say a prayer and hope that you are not cold out in the elements. I hope that you have found a warm place to stay.

With all of the people who care about you and pray for your safe return, I know in my heart that you will find your way home.

Please everyone, if you see someone who looks like Sean go up to him and take his picture. We all have cell phones with cameras. Then call the police and Lynn 
Ching."
