Sad

thankyou so much for bringing up this heart wrenching subject.

here is more info:





madelaine has a very distinctive eye..I know its a long shot,but sometimes long shots pay off.

Madelaine
has a very distinctive eye...when you see a little girl passing in the
street,every little girl...look more closely....

The UK is all talking about the disapperance of Madeleine Mccan, a
British 4 year old who was on holiday in Portugal with her family when
she was abducted on the 3rd of May this year. Her 4th birthday was only
yesterday. I know there are people on this community from all over the
world, so I want to ask that we all start thinking about Madeleine, and
that each of us uses our resources to look for her. Each one of us can help. Here's how:

If you live in Portugal or neighbouring Spain, or even other European countries (she may well have been moved):
• Look her up on the net, so you're familiar with her face and check
that image against any small child you see. Especially notice her
distinctive right eye, with a pupil that bleeds slightly into the iris.
(See pic above) Remember her appearance may have been changed by her
abductors, so look at all children very carefully, even those who look like boys. Be a pair of eyes looking out for her.
• Print out some posters and place them in public spaces, to keep her
face out there.

If you live in the U.S / UK / Australia / anywhere, you may still be able to help:
• If you visit online communties of anykind with members in Europe, make some noise on there about this. Cut
and paste what I said in the paragraph above. Point them to the
websites I've given links to here. Get them to put up posters and look
at children.
• If you have any connections in Europe (friends, collegues, family) tell them about Madeleine.

If none of the above options is availiable for you, please pray hard for her,as many already are.

prayer is action

It is so important that she's found. There's no point in denying the
odds of her being alive now are stacked against her, but there's always
a chance. And, even it's too late for her, her abductor(s) must be
found to prevent this happening to another child, and for her family it
would be better to know what's happened than to be wondering forever.

Let's create a ripple effectto tell as many people as we know about Madeleine, so there are even
more eyes looking out for her. That's just what positive, loving people
like us are good at, right?

what if it was you daughter?your niece....your sister...your friend...

thankyou for reading this post and reaching out

namaste

It is just terrible, hope the girl is safe in her health first of all. And stay health.
I dont want to seem pesimist but there are no many hopes ....

Everyone (except her father) gave up on Elizabeth Smart and she was alive. So even though the odds are against her there is a chance.

Indeed.Hope is what is carrying her parents through..thius mornings papers showed the last picture of her taken 7 hours before she was missing,it breaks my heart even writing about it to think of how it must be for her parents to look.
a woman had sighted her in Morocco,a small drop of hope...


love and light

Thanks for your input, I did think twice before posting this, after I recieved the email from my Aunt because things like this can be contraversial despite the fact that it shouldn't be. I'm so glad I did and the fact that you are supporting it.

It is the only way the information can be spread far and wide.

I agree with you, there might not be much hope but so long as there is a glimmer, it is enough.

I will light a candle for the girl, praying for her safe return at my home altar. I hope she is alright.
