Help find Sean Sidi

We need your help to find our son

HELP NEEDED SEARCHING FOR SEAN SIDI - NEAR LOS ANGELES, BAKERSFIELD ETC.

SEARCHING FOR SEAN SIDI 8 MONTHS LATER 

It has been 8 months since Sean (age 19) vanished without a trace from San Francisco, CA. From day one, Sean’s severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) stacked the odds of survival AGAINST him. Doctors were clear about this. On the other hand, the prayers and help from so many of you continue to give us HOPE that we may find Sean in time. 

To that end – WE ARE AGAIN ASKING FOR YOUR HELP. 

OVERALL PLAN: We continue to follow ALL leads (they continue to come in). However, since we have NO confirmed leads placing Sean at a definite location, and given the possibility that Sean may be on the move (and the urgency of finding Sean ASAP) - the search for SEAN is being coordinated from 3 main areas. 

1. BAKERSFIELD, STOCKTON, SACRAMENTO, LOS ANGELES – ALONG HWY 5 

THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE NEED THE MOST HELP !!!!! 

IF YOU HAVE CONTACTS – (friends, church groups etc) IN THIS AREA – WE DESPERATELY NEED HELP WITH POSTING & DISTRIBUTING SEAN’S FLIERS TO HOMELESS SHELTERS, SOUP KITCHENS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS AND TO THOSE LIVING ON THE STREETS/ PARKS. 


2. SAN DIEGO AND SURROUNDING AREAS

Many living on the streets are moving SOUTH this time of year. 

The Southern Division of ‘NOR CAL Alliance for the Missing’ has started distribution of Sean’s fliers in San Diego and surrounding areas. However, this is a VAST AREA with MANY SHELTERS & LOTS of PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS. 

MORE HELP IS DESPERATELY NEEDED TO POST AND DISTRIBUTE SEAN’S FLIERS TO HOMELESS SHELTERS, SOUP KITCHENS , LAW ENFORCEMENT AND HOSPITALS IN THE SAN DIEGO area.

3. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

This is ground zero. Thanks to ALL OF YOU, fliers continue to be distributed throughout Northern California. 
YOU CAN CONTINUE TO HELP BY KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR SEAN, AND BY CONTINUING TO REPOST AND DISTRIBUTE SEANS FLIERS THROUGHOUT SAN FRANCISCO, MARIN, THRU SANTA CRUZ AND THE ENTIRE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA. 

We are also seeking help in sending Sean’s flier to all homeless shelters and soup kitchens THROUGHOUT California. Seehttp://www.homelessshelterdirectory.org/

Thank you ALL!! If we find Sean, it will be due to ALL OF YOU!!!! 

Lynn, Claude & Danielle SIDI

SEAN SIDI IS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE!!!

DUE TO SEAN'S BRAIN INJURY AND OTHER MEDICAL ISSUES, SEAN VERY LIKELY DOES NOT KNOW WHO OR WHERE HE IS. HE NEEDS US TO FIND HIM....

When Sean first went missing on May 21, 2013, Klaas Kids Foundation told us to cast the net for Sean, FAR AND WIDE. They told us of a case very similar to Sean's, of a 20 year old young man in California who had suffered a traumatic brain injury, lost his memory, and ended up in another STATE, with NO MONEY, within 3 days!!!! 

This family was very lucky that a concerned citizen noticed that this young man needed help. Please HELP US SPREAD WORD ABOUT OUR SEARCH FOR SEAN by sharing, posting fliers, and helping us in our mass mailing campaigns to hospitals and homeless shelters across the nation. We can only locate Sean if EVERYONE knows that Sean is missing! 

See www.facebook.com/findseansidi or www.seansidi.com for more information about the search for 19 year old Sean SIDI. Email lynnkching@yahoo.com for fliers and/or if you would like to help in the mass mailing campaign.

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!

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
