LEAD ME HOME

A group of family members of missing persons have formed a non-profit organization called Lead Me Home. Lead Me Home is a 501 c 3 non-profit to help the families and others affected by the disapperance of a loved one. The mission is to help raise awareness about the number of missing persons, educate families about the resources available and bridge the communications gap between law enforcement and families by holding informational conferences. Lead Me Home was created by the family of Shelva Conrad Rafte, missing since 2006 in Pittston, PA. To contact them and join their efforts please email Dawn Michaels dawnagutter@yahoo.com
