Lighting Their Way Home

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR CHILD WENT MISSING?

WHAT WOULD YOU HOPE OTHERS WOULD DO IF YOUR CHILD WENT MISSING?

These are not questions parents like to ask,they are not things we as parents want to think about. They fill us with a fear and dread so overwhelming, we find it hard to breathe. Unfortunately, these are questions we NEED to ask.

A child goes missing every 40 seconds , over 2,100 per day…

In excess of 800,000 children are reported missing each year…

Another 500,000 go missing without ever being reported…

As a mother, I know that if one of my sons went missing, I would hope that all parents would stand united with me and demand my son be found. I tell myself, if I hope others would do this for me, I NEED to do this for others. As parents, it is our obligation to help other parents in a time of crisis. It is time that society took a stand and work together to bring our missing children home. Before you ask yourself, what can I do – ask yourself – WHAT WOULD I HOPE OTHERS WOULD DO? – and you will find your answer, what you would hope others would do – is what you CAN do. We need to begin doing for others, what we can only hope others would do for us if our child was missing. You never know when it will be YOUR CHILD MISSING. Please join us at Lighting Their Way Home to help parents who have lost a child in their efforts to bring them home.

Lighting Their Way Home has 1 major objective – to raise awareness. We want as many people as possible to look at these children’s faces, and remember their stories. DON’T ALLOW THEM TO BE FORGOTTEN. All it takes is one person in the right place, at the right time, armed with the right INFORMATION to save a child’s life. We can help arm you with the right information. We are not asking you for money, we are only asking you to take a little time to read the information on these cases, and to PASS IT ON. That is all.

Lighting Their Way Home is an organization dedicated to giving a voice to children who would otherwise go unheard.  All to often our children become victims, and our children do not have the ability to speak out against their attackers and demand justice be served.  We are the voice of these children.

In light of the Caylee Marie Anthony disappearance, our organization was formed by a group of ladies that are outraged at the amount of children that are hurt and/or disappear everyday and are never found or never have justice served.  We have had enough of society accepting excuses from neglectful parents, we have had enough of people giving up on finding these babies and bringing them home, we have had enough of children being allowed to remain in situations which are dangerous.  We think it is time to defend these children and say loudly for all to hear ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.  Please join us in our fight for these children.

Our organization has many case and campaigns which we work on as well as many goals we have set for ourselves.  We would like to raise awareness about systems such as AMBER ALERTS, safe surrender programs, search and rescue volunteer organizations etc.  We want to get information out there for all to see so that there can be a better understanding of what can and needs to be done when these situations occur.  Many people often ask themselves, what can I do?  The answer is plenty.  Whether it be to join an email campaign to a search and rescue organization asking them to become involved in a case to actually volunteering to help search for a missing child, to simply turning your porch light on at at night to light a child’s way home.  No effort is too small, and this is where the difference is made.  If there is a topic which you would like more information on or a topic which we have not covered that you feel we should, please feel free to email us at lightingtheirwayhome@hotmail.com .  We want to hear from you.

We also provide a open forum to discuss hot topics that our close to our hearts such as children which have been forgotten in the parents cars.  We want to hear your opinions and your suggestions in how we can work to make a difference so that less and less children have to suffer these fates.  If there is a topic that we have not created a post for, please email us at lightingtheirwayhome@hotmail.com .  Again, we want to hear from you.

We will be continuously covering cases of children that have gone missing or have been victimized as well.  We will add new cases as they open up and as we are contacted with new cases.  Our organization intends to follow these cases through until the bitter end, doing all that we can do to help these children. We will promote email campaigns where we email search and rescue groups, news stations etc. asking them to get involved and raise the awareness of this child’s plight.  We will promote our flier campaigns and provide all of our members with the necessary information and links if they would like to participate.  We will examine every aspect of the cases, picking them apart piece by piece in hopes of finding an answer.  We will also be discussing how these cases affect us.  We are all human, and this is not only an organization that will make a difference, but it is an organization that allows people from all over the world to connect and share a common goal.  If you have a case of a missing or victimized child that you would like us to work on, please email us at lightingtheirwayhome@hotmail.comwith all of the details and information regarding the case and we will open a file for it.  We will do whatever we can and whatever it takes to find answers for these children.

Every week we will feature a cold case.  These cases will be cases of missing or victimized children that remain unsolved to this day.  They are cases that may have already been forgotten and the child has not been brought home or seen justice.  We will not let these children be forgotten and we will continue to bring the spotlight back on them until they are brought home.  Once again, please feel free to contact us with any suggestions of cold cases you would like to see us cover.

Our largest campaign by far is our ‘Lights For…’ campaign.  This campaign is one that will be used for every missing child case.  Whenever we have an open missing child case, we will ask that everyone join us in our ‘Lights For…’ campaign by turning on their porch lights or lighting a candle in their window from 7:30PM until midnight each evening to help light the child’s way home until they are found.  The more lights that are on and the more candles that are lit, the brighter the path there is to follow for that child and the more awareness we are bringing to the situation.  It is something simple that EVERYONE can do for EVERY CHILD.  ‘Lights For..’ is a small gesture, that will make a big difference, so please, turn on your porch light and burn your candles.

Let’s bring our children home.
