My Name Is Sean SIDI: Please Don't Forget Me

We hold Sean close in mind and heart every second of each day, and dare to HOPE...

Please see www.facebook.com/findseansidi (this is a public page, pls take a look), or www.seansidi.com for more information on Sean SIDI, age 19 (time of missing) who vanished from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013, shortly after sustaining a traumatic brain injury.   Sean may be lost amongst the homeless, without memory of who he is - very far from home.  Please keep an eye out for him. 

SAVE the DATE: May 16, 2015 (details TBD) - Remembering Sean SIDI

On May 21st (2015), Sean will have been missing for 2 years. It's not easy to speak of Sean, the passing of time, and how much we miss him. It has been incredibly hard to do this in public....but we have - 4 times in the past 2 years... because we had to spread the word.....

Claude and I discussed having an event on SAT May 16th (if Sean is still missing), perhaps our LAST.....The EVENT will honor SEAN, and your MEMORIES of him...Sean's friends, teachers, parents, staff of FAIS-IHS, VILLA,. WE hope you will attend & SPEAK of your memories of Sean.

We are hoping Danielle's friends will be there to support HER.

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!!!

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!!

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.  

See www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on the search for critically injured Sean Sidi, missing from San Francisco, CA since May 21, 2013.    Sean, age 19 (age time of missing), is 5’5”, 120 lbs, slim build; Asian/White; dark brown hair & eyes; WEARS SILVER DENTAL BRACES; has dimples; right eye droops slightly. Sean may not know his name and may be disoriented due to a traumatic brain injury suffered shortly before going missing. He is in URGENT need of medical care.

MILO'S INSPIRING GIFT TO 'SEARCH FOR SEAN SIDI'

WE ARE IN AWE OF OUR 7 YEAR OLD NEIGHBOR, MILO. Yesterday, Milo decided (his idea!!!) to sell lemonade to raise money to search for Sean. He (with the help of his incredible parents), prepared organic lemonade & set up a lemonade stand in Bernal Heights, San Francisco. 

Milo sold lemonade & his ORIGINAL artwork (pictured below). He also handed each customer one of Sean's fliers AND asked them POST the flier. 

It was AMAZING!!! In a matter of 2 hours, MILO raised $133 which he donated to search for Sean!! 

MILO NOT ONLY RAISED MONEY TO SEARCH FOR SEAN - HE DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF SPREADING THE WORD of OUR SEARCH FOR SEAN!!!! While many in the neighborhood had heard of our search for Sean, SOME HAD NOT!!!! 

THANK YOU MILO!!! THE MONEY YOU RAISED WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE MORE FLIERS, & TO PAY FOR SUPPLIES & POSTAGE USED IN OUR on-going campaign to mail Sean's fliers to soup kitchens, homeless shelters, & hospitals in California and across the United States.

YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US, MILO!!
