VIDEO POSTED - Search for SEAN SIDI - September 6 2015 -

We hope you all enjoyed the long weekend.

 

Unfortunately, we have no new news. The 2+ year search for Sean has yielded NO confirmed sighting of Sean, and we do NOT know whether Sean is alive, or WHAT happened on May 21, 2013 when his phone was turned off/went dead (the latter we doubt). 

 

If god forbid - the search for Sean OUTLIVES Claude and me, we hope that you will continue to assist Sean's beloved sister - Danielle (pictured in many of the photos) in getting answers. 

 

To our friends & family - who have set aside their own discomfort to SHARE & SPEAK with us of their fond MEMORIES of Sean, who go out of their way to ASK about the search for Sean, we thank you for your PRICELESS GIFT. To All of YOU - who have HELPED us keep the search FOR Sean from going COLD - THANK YOU.  

 

I am reposting this video of Sean, made with generosity by Trisha, mother of MISSING (from San Francisco) SHAWN DICKERSON. Trisha has somehow captured the LOVE that embraced Sean his entire life...and Sean's LOVE of family/friends & LIFE.  Thank you Trisha!

Sean SIDI Family Will Never Forget the Staff at San Francisco General Hospital

We were thrilled to hear of (FB's) Mark Zuckerberg & wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan's $75 million gift to SF General HOSPITAL. See http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Zuckerberg-wife-give-75-million-to-S-F-hospital-6065958.php.


WE will never forget the incredible doctors and nurses at SF GENERAL WHO worked around the clock for days to SAVE Sean's LIFE....that fateful day 2 yrs ago...when Sean arrived at SF's only LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER -- IN a COMA, with a SHATTERED skull & many, many other injuries....racing towards DEATH.

Several months ago, near the time of Sean's 2 year 'anniversary' of his accident, I received a call from a nurse at SF General. She told me that SEVERAL of the nurses REMEMBERED that it had been 2 years since Sean's ACCIDENT, and that they wanted ME to know that THEY HAD NOT FORGOTTEN SEAN or our family.....I was incredibly touched by that call.

We HOPE with all our heart that ONE DAY we will be able to tell SF General (& all of YOU) that Sean has been FOUND..........Thank you all for continuing to support us in this effort!

SIDI Family on San Francisco Police Search for Sean SIDI

A reporter recently asked my opinion of San Francisco Police’s search for Sean…..here are some thoughts.

Chief Tim Longo (of Virginia) is my HERO. For 35 days, the nation watched spellbound as Chief Longo, with heart and soul, led the search for missing U of VA student Hannah Graham. In the end, Chief Longo’s incredible determination resulted in the arrest of a suspect (possibly involved in several missing/murdered cases), the location of Hannah’s remains…& ANSWERS for Hannah’s family.

Truthfully, it is hard NOT to compare. Hard NOT to be bitter about the blatant disregard exhibited by SAN FRANCISCO Missing Persons Dept, in the search for SEAN, the CALIFORNIA MISSING FIVE & others (details omitted).

HOWEVER, ultimately it is the SYSTEM that is to blame. A SYSTEM that ALLOWED a less than motivated detective to CHOOSE to take a “wait & see” attitude rather than REQUIRING that certain search protocol be COMPETENTLY completed. A SYSTEM that allowed this detective to IGNORE dire warning by Chief of Neurosurgery at SF General to elevate Sean’s status due to a “high risk of death”.

My criticism of the SYSTEM however does not obviate our IMMENSE GRATITUDE to the many SAN FRANCISCO POLICE officers WHO helped search for Sean…who responded to the many sightings, who helped post SEAN’S fliers at the MUNI stations, who on their OWN time attended the vigils for Sean, who came up to me to express their SYMPATHY & who CONTINUE to keep an eye out for Sean… to THOSE officers - we are ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

PERHAPS MIRACLES DO HAPPEN - SEAN SIDI

FOR THOSE NOT ON FACEBOOK, WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE STORY OF DERRICK HIGGINS, AGE 23 WHO WENT MISSING FROM ILLINOIS IN MARCH 2013.   DERRICK WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE AMNESIA DUE TO A HEAD TRAUMA.  HIS PARENTS WERE LOOKING FOR HIM AMONG THE HOMELESS (LIKE SEAN).

DERRICK'S CAR WAS FOUND IN FLORIDA, CONFIRMED SIGHTING IN LAS VEGAS & TODAY IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT DERRICK WAS LOCATED IN SAN DIEGO.  HE IS NOW IN A CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL, WITH HIS PARENTS EN ROUTE!!      PRAYING FOR DERRICK'S RECOVERY!!! 

Perhaps a miracle is ALSO possible for Sean!!!

KEEP PRAYING, SPREADING THE WORD, POSTING & KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR SEAN AMONG THE HOMELESS. 

Help us bring Sean HOME!!!

See www.facebook.com/findseansidi (this is a PUBLIC PAGE & YOU DO NOT need a FB account) or www.seansidi.com for more information on Sean Sidi, age 19, missing from San Francisco since May 21, 2013, shortly after suffering a traumatic brain injury.

***Please email lynnkching@yahoo.com w/your address to have Sean's fliers mailed to you (refills welcomed!) anywhere in the U.S.

SOCKS FOR SEAN SIDI - IS ON !!!


Another year ending with no sign that Sean is alive, but no body identified as his. We go to work, we live our lives, we go on & YET we DO NOT.   We can never truly move forward without resolution.   We ache to hold Sean & dream of seeing him alive.  However, if Sean is not alive, we want to know. "Not knowing" can drive one to the depths of depression & beyond.....

How do we survive with any semblance of grace & dignity? Perhaps it rests with acknowledging the needs & suffering of others & helping in whatever way possible.

TO THAT END, we are proceeding (it was on hold)  with 'SOCKS for SEAN". The intent is to distribute a few WARM, NEW SOCKS to those in need. This will NOT cure the ills of the world, nor will it find Sean, but its something... IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE in "Socks for SEAN":

1. Please DISTRIBUTE 1 or 2 PAIRS of WARM SOCKS TO homeless NEAR YOU & include Sean's flier. THIS WILL HELP SPREAD THE WORD about SEAN & HELP someone in need. Some, like Tina A. in Marin share Sean's fliers while feeding the homeless. Danielle and I generally distribute Sean's flier with a $1 bill. THIS is the same idea, but with SOCKS.

IF YOU ARE ABLE, SEND A PICTURE, OR LET US KNOW WHERE YOU DISTRIBUTED YOUR SOCK(S).

2. IF YOU PREFER THAT WE DISTRIBUTE THE SOCKS, Send or drop off your sock contribution to:

Claude SIDI, 450 Sutter St, Suite 1819, San Francisco. CA 94108

**We will distribute the socks January & February 2015.
