Rock One Sock for Missing Children

 

This post is going to be short today. I am trying to spread awareness of a cause that is near and dear to my heart, the Rock One Sock for Missing Children Campaign.

As a parent and now grandparent, one of my biggest fears in life is anything happening to one of my children. I can not imagine the pain parents who do not know where their children are face every day.

As adults, I feel we all have the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of all children, not just our own. As adults, it is our job to support those who are fighting and dedicating their lives to bring children home where they belong and who work to keep our children safe.

If you know where your children are, be grateful. Hug them, love them, and keep them safe.

What is the #RockOneSock Campaign

The Rock One Sock campaign is a simple way to show your support for the thousands of missing children and their families in time for Missing Children’s Day on May 25.

Between May 21 and May 25 NCMEC is asking you to

• Wear one sock and take a photo or video to show how you rocked that sock.
• Share your image or video on social media using hashtag #RockOneSock. Please follow @MissingKids on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
• Care: If you can, please donate to the NCMEC to support their work to bring missing children home.

What is National Missing Children’s Day?

May 25, 1983 was the day proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan as National Missing Children’s Day. The day is dedicated to encourage parents, guardians, caregivers and other people who care about the well-being of children to make child safety a priority.

On this day, people dedicated to this cause are honored, and it reminds everyone that the effort to reunite missing children with their families needs to continue.

Your turn!
