About Us
Hi Friends!
WWAFY became a system when our communities, in the Phoenix West Valley, realized we had lost TOO many children (and others) for long periods of time, or forever! Understanding the realities of all ‘agencies’ , their intent and their restrictions or limitations, it was apparent WE could do more, as neigbbors.
In mid 2023, one boy, in particular, went missing and was later found dead. He committed suicide, but had waited several hours, near his home, before turning his phone “BACK” on (so it could be pinged)… and waiting to see if someone came. They did not come fast enough… and he took his own life.
The point? No one is to blame, regardless the reason or cause. But, the simple truth is, IF the proper resources had been quickly obtained and dispatched, this child would have been found alive. If it were a repeated attempt, resources to assist the child in living a harmless life might have been dispatched, after recovery. We decided, we CAN do BETTER!
We want to not only create a ‘QRT’ Quick Response Team to expedite recovery of a missing one, but to also tell our Children… We WILL find you… no matterr why or how you disappear.
What Will Make this work:
important Features:
- A dedicated ‘team’ of bloodhounds, available, 24/7 to dispatch to site.
- A trained team-member dispatched, immediately, with a ‘workbook’ of instructions, questions, checklists, etc. to help the family through the loss.
- Full documentation/online access for rapid inclusion of new or changing
- An on-demand, as needed, team of ‘search’ and ‘outreach’ support items and persons… including, but not limited to “door knockers”; social, print and TV media specialists; drones, 4x4s, divers, communications experts, etc.
- Use of NDAs, as needed, to secure confidential information that can be used to analyze best methods…. for families who are otherwise reluctant to disclose information.
- Coordination with LEO to assist and procure information
- An. ever-improving, documented, tracked and evaluated system for easy execution, nationwide.
- The creation and distribution of a QR Code and packet for every home with an at-risk person; to be placed on a cabinet door and used in such need.
- Experiences have validated the intended processes/system would have aided in the handling of their lost one.
The Cost
All team members will be volunteers, Initially, limited funds will be required for on-going support: gas, It is hoped that local vendors will provide such items as home-use stickers/kit contents; on-demand fliers, etc.; Marketing ‘costs’ will be nil by introduction at HOA, community, school, church, and business presentations.
Testimonial
The mother of a recently lost child, who committed suicide, confirmed that, if bloodhounds had been dispatched and people at the house helped her make her way through the quagmire, her child would still be alive.
