Dear Friends and Supporters of the Missing Children’s Network,
For a remarkable 35 years the Missing Children’s Network has been offering emergency services, support, relief and education to protect and support our children. These children are often the most fragile members of our society and when they go missing are exposed to great dangers. The Missing Children’s Network has and will continue to be the unwavering place to turn for assistance for both the children and their families.
In a small way I have been helping the organisation for over 15 years and unfortunately recently experienced first-hand the need for their help. I was delighted and honoured to be the asked to be one of the Co-Chair’s to the May 21st event when we will be celebrating the organization’s 35th anniversary at the Gala – Le Feu Sacré. Please join us for an evening of fun and entertainment. Brings friends, family and colleagues… buy tickets, participate in the silent auction, become a sponsor or any manner please help us recognise this wonderful organisation.
Best regards,
Brett Miller
Chief Executive Officer – Canderel
Today is Let’s Talk Day in Canada.
Did you know that 1 in 5 children in Quebec and Canada suffer from a mental health problem, including anxiety?
January 29th is Let’s Talk Day in Canada, a national campaign dedicated to encourage open dialogue about mental health, reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues and promote awareness and understanding.
Children who struggle with an anxiety disorder face many daily challenges and their day is filled with constant “what if?” thinking. Here’s how to help a child who’s struggling with an anxiety disorder: bit.ly/2AGCGOg

The Missing Children's Network is pleased to inform you that 13-year-old Aly Sotomayor Flores, missing since January 26, 2020 has been found and is doing well. Thank you to all those who shared her poster.
On January 23, 2005, the lives of Françoise Algier and her entire family changed forever. Her 13 year-old daughter, Mélina, was on her way to Roch-Bourbonnais Park in Farnham to participate in the Winter Festival and was planning to later join her mother at the restaurant. Mélina never made her way to the Festival and has never been seen since.
Fifteen years after her disappearance, Melina’s family still clings to the hope that one day she will return home. Thank you for helping us keep hope alive for Mélina and her family.Le 23 janvier 2005, la vie de Françoise Algier et de sa famille a basculé. Sa fille Mélina Martin, alors âgée de 13 ans, devait se rendre au parc Roch-Bourbonnais de Farnham pour participer au Festival d’hiver et la rejoindre au restaurant plus tard en soirée. Mélina ne s’est pas rendue au Festival et n’a jamais été revue depuis.
Quinze ans après sa disparition, la famille de Mélina s’accroche toujours à l’espoir qu’elle reviendra un jour à la maison. Merci de nous aider à garder l’espoir bien vivant pour Mélina et sa famille.

Make a Donation
Your donations make a real difference in our community and help support our ongoing involvement in the search for missing children, as well as assist us in our efforts to protect our youth from harm.
“It’s a privilege to be able to contribute to your efforts in keeping our children safe. When I saw the stats particularly for Quebec, it really hit home the urgency to continue to educate our kids on the hazards that exist and ways to keep themselves safe.”
Since I have been donating to your organization, I have been very lucky not to have lost any of my children and I now have 4 grandchildren! I will always continue to support this cause that is very dear to me. Losing a child for a mere 20 seconds is such a dreadful feeling, and I could never ever imagine feeling like this until my child was returned home. I wish that so many other parents could share the same blessing I have had. My heart goes out to everyone who has a missing child. Keep up the fantastic work Pina , please. You and your team are amazing!!
