Help find Sean Sidi

We need your help to find our son

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. 

Episode 778 (in which Sean will be featured) is satellite fed starting on Wednesday, October 23, 2013, and MOST STATIONS WILL AIR EPISODE 778 (featuring Sean) THIS COMING WEEKEND (Oct 26 or 27). See www.usamissing.com. for programming information for your city and state. 


However, since San Francisco's Channel 2 KTVU airs 'MISSING' on Mondays, episode 778 featuring SEAN will air on MONDAY, OCTOBER 28TH (not Oct 21st). 

Thank you to Larry Dunn and Alex Paen for clarifying this and for featuring Sean on 'Missing'. 

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.

SEAN SIDI MISSING FOR 5 MONTHS NOW!! HELP US KEEP 1 FLIER UP - UNTIL SEAN IS FOUND

October 21, 2013 marks 5 months since Sean vanished without a trace. There has been on activity on Sean’s bank card or cell phone since he vanished on May 21, 2013 from San Francisco, CA without a trace. 

We are mindful that each day may make the difference between life and death for Sean, given his precarious medical condition at the time he went missing. For us, the days only get harder – much, much harder. We are thankful to all of you, and to our friends, family and co-workers who have provided on-going support and encouragement during this difficult time. We do not know when this nightmare will end, and we pray for the sanity and strength to continue the search for Sean for as long as it takes. 

We DO know with certainty that Sean will only be found if people know that he is missing. Spreading the word has not been easy, and gets harder with time. We desperately need help keeping Sean’s fliers posted in San Francisco AND all over California and the United States. 

If you would like to help in the search for Sean, we are asking that you pick ONE LOCATION on your weekly route (church, walking to the bus stop, etc.) and KEEP SEAN’S FLIER POSTED in that ONE LOCATION until SEAN IS FOUND. We do not know how long this will take.....

We DO KNOW that it will take a “village” to find Sean. 

Your POSTING 1 FLIER, and keeping that 1 FLIER UP, can make all the difference in the search for Sean.

We will gladly mail you a supply of Sean’s fliers. Please email lynnkching@yahoo.comwith your mailing address for fliers. For those in wet locations, we will mail fliers and waterproof covers, as requested.

With Gratitude,

Lynn and Claude

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES

Recently, friend Brenda Condon drove around San Diego, posting Sean’s missing person fliers.    Here is what Brenda wrote me,
 
“I took my 5-year old grandson [Mason] with me today to hang posters…It was really cute.    My grandson [Mason] was in his car seat staring at Sean’s poster.  
 
He said,  Don’t worry Sean, we’re going to find you! ”  
 
THANK YOU MASON – for your conviction and for helping us search for Sean!!!!!  Below is a picture of Mason after a long day of posting Sean’s fliers.

Due to a severe traumatic brain injury sustained prior to going missing, SEAN IS IN URGENT NEED OF MEDICAL CARE.  Amnesia, seizures and many other serious medical issues are not uncommon following a severe brain injury. Sean may be homeless, living on the streets, unable to ask for help.  Although Sean vanished from San Francisco, CA, it is possible that he may have traveled FAR from San Francisco if he was given a ride.   
 
Sean is 5’5”, slim build and 120 lbs; has dark brown thick, wavy hair, of Asian/Caucasian ethnicity; WEARS SILVER DENTAL BRACES; has a surgical scar on right forehead from brain surgery.  Please help spread the word about the search for SEAN by sharing, liking and re-posting.   
 
If you see Sean, please take him to the hospital and call 415.713.5913. You may also send a photo of Sean to this number.  Please help spread the word about our search for Sean across the United States, by sharing our post with everyone that you know. 
 

REAL LIFE STORIES OF HOPE - HELP NEEDED IN CAMPAIGN OF HOPE

As many of you know, Sean, our 19 year old son, survived a horrific accident and a severe traumatic brain injury, ONLY to vanish from San Francisco, CA without a trace several months later on May 21, 2013. See www.facebook.com/findseansidi and www.seansidi.com for details.
 
While doctors have warned that Sean’s medical condition puts him a risk of death and we cannot imagine how Sean could still be alive given his precarious medical state, many of you have shared real life stories of HOPE.
 
Mahsa Hakim recently said, “On my week end trip to Maui, I heard an amazing story of a local homeless man who happened to gain his memory back with a help of a local church. He was originally from California and lost his memory in an accident and he was offered a one way ticket to Maui.  I did some search online and I also read a story of a lawyer from New York who lost his memory and ended up in Chicago. His picture was shown on America's Most Wanted and he was was found with a help of homeless shelter he was at.  Is there anyway to organize a nation-wide search of the homeless shelters or have his picture shown in National TV? Please let me know if I can be of any help.”
