Project Jason
On June 13,2001 a mother went through a very tough day, her 19 year old son Jason had went missing. He was called into work early and was glad to go but had no ride there a female coworker was supposed to pick him up at the high school seven blocks down the road. It was believed that Jason got dressed in his uniform and headed off to meet his ride at the school. It was later told that the coworker showed up at the school and waited for Jason to arrive but he never did so she went back to work. The mother states she did not know anything until Jason's father called and asked if she had heard from Jason. Jason was known to be a responsible young adult and not showing up for work was not his thing. So the parents waited like any other parent for 24 hours before they contacted the police. Jason's parents didn't know what to think, His bank account hadn't been touched so it wasn't like he ran away. They said he hadn't shown anything out of the ordinary to prove maybe he commited suicide. They said he was a good kid and had a lot going for him,they never really had a reason to believe he was into any kind of trouble. The mother logged onto a computer and looked up how many missing people there still were to this day and she made herself a promise that her son's picture would not be on there as long as the others. Jason's parents didnt know where to turn for help. So they started Project Jason with the goal of not only reaising the awarness but to provide families of the missing with useful information.
Its amazing how something so little can go so far. By starting Project Jason, there were a couple of families reunited with their missing loved ones. All it takes is a little effort to help try and get the job done. Sometimes all you can do is hope and pray but it helps when you put forth some effort to help the sitiuation.

I told Sherri how impressed I am when someone takes a tragedy and turns it into something positive. This mother has helped get legislation passed in her state to help people find missing friends and family and started a website as a resource for family and friends of missing people.
