Protector
Frontline responders searching for missing kids rarely hear "thank you." Let's change that.
During Missing Child Rescue Operations law enforcement and child protection professionals work tirelessly to restore safety to endangered missing children in their communities. A simple note from you can remind them that they are seen, valued, and supported during this experience.
Write a Message of Support for the Heroes Searching for Missing Kids. Your message will be hand-delivered during our next Missing Child Rescue Operation in New York.

supporting the people who serve our most vulnerable youth
The harsh Reality
Imagine working cases, sifting through leads, chasing clues, and coordinating recovery efforts across multiple agencies—all for one goal: returning a missing child to safety. Only to see that same child’s name cross your desk again the following week because they ran away once again. It can feel like this is a problem without a solution. For the the law enforcement and child protection professionals on the frontlines, exhaustion is inevitable. But this work is more than a job; it’s a mission. And missions like this can feel isolating at times.
During a Missing Child Rescue Operation we spend three intense days not only locating endangered missing kids, but looking deeper to understand why they’re running. These caring adults carefully examine each child’s case and work collaboratively to develop individualized solutions that better serve the vulnerable youth in their communities.
And that’s where you come in. A simple note of gratitude—telling these professionals that their work matters—can make them feel seen and valued. Your message will be hand-delivered to participants at our next Missing Child Rescue Operation as a lasting reminder that their work is appreciated.
Our next Missing Child Rescue Operation is happening in New York soon. Let’s make sure every frontline hero has a message of encouragement waiting for them on Day one.
