WOMAN FORMS ALLIANCE with
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR LOST CHILDREN
January
2 , 2007 ( Boca Raton, FL) - - - During this upcoming new
year, millions of children will celebrate joyous times with
their loved ones. Thanks to Mark Miller, more than one hundred
of them will do that in their own beds rather than on the
run.
Mark
Miller is the founder of American Association for Lost Children
(AAFLC).
Sherry
Thomas, actress, television producer and President of Breathless
Video Productions, LLC has formed an alliance with Mark Miller.
Thomas,
who recently started her own television production company
(www.breathlessvideo.com), prayed that her company could be
used to better others, especially children. Her prayer was
answered when Mark Miller contacted her. Miller, who gave
up corporate America to locate and recover missing and kidnapped
children, has reunited 110 kids with their families.
One
day, out of the blue, I received an email from Mark. We have
a common love and interest for children and their welfare.
What ensued is a beautiful friendship.
Thomas
decided to help Millers efforts. She started by soliciting
the services of her webmaster. He donated his time to revamping
the website. That is step one. Step two is a public awareness
campaign through media and fundraisers. At present, whenever
Goodsearch is used as web a search engine, AAFLC will receive
one penny for each time Goodsearch is used to surf the web.
By typing in American Association for Lost Children after
the question Who do you Goodsearch for?, the monies
default to the charity.
Our
idea is to make the website more functional and accessible
for kids who are lost or have been taken, as well as provide
updates from family members and wonderfully nosy neighbors,
says Thomas.
Slated
for the end of January 2008, it will provide areas for parents,
family members, or tipsters to upload photos and provide a
means to leave a message, anonymously protected, that might
lead to a recovery. We are reaching out to the public
to come forward and let AAFLC help.
Miller
says, The day my phone stops ringing will be a joyous
one. For the time being, however, there are many kids missing
and somewhere, someone knows something. Dont be afraid
to step forward and solicit help, advice, or give us tips.
Thats why were here. We will fly anytime, anywhere
to find a child.
Mark
is an amazing man. He has been harassed by government officials
in foreign countries, has slept on barren floors, and has
had his car repossessed, all in the name of finding missing
children. Mark believes that children deserve more than their
faces on milk cartons and leaflets being distributed. While
those are wonderful tools, the devil is in the details. Thats
what he does, said Thomas.
All
we care about is the end result the happy reunion of
a child with their loved ones, says Mark. Its
all in days work. My job is a happy one. How many people
can say that they truly love what they do? I cherish each
morning and with each new recovery, I smile and thank God.
Whats
next? Well, Mark is close to another recovery and this
will Mark--- pardon the pun---well over his 100
th. There has been some television network buzz about chronicling
his life and work, but in all honesty, all he cares about
is bringing these kids home, states Sherry.
In
the interim, Thomas points out, I try to impress upon
my two boys the sense of philanthropy . . . and goodness .
. . and giving back. Mark Miller is one of the most special
individuals Ive had the pleasure of meeting. He is incredibly
humble and unassuming. I use him as a role model and example
to my kids .
