We are really excited to have this resource available to Equusearch Midwest, our sister team.
Congratulations, Dave Rader and Linda Boomer for securing this resource to help bring the lost and missing home!

It is our honor to welcome our newest resource in mutual aid and partner, TJ with Vertical Advantage Helicopters. TJ has agreed to be onboard and work hand in hand with our organization .
TJ was a valuable asset while looking for Todd Payne. We encourage you to visit his Facebook to see what all his business offers. Adding his expertise to our mission will make us stronger. Not only makes us stronger, but makes our search time quicker and we will cover a lot more area in a short amount of time, because time is of the essence. Our director, Dave, always says he will add a kitchen sink if that’s what it takes. We haven’t got a kitchen sink yet, but we do have a helicopter.

Welcome aboard, TJ. 👏

LOST IS NOT ALONE

TOGETHER WE CAN
