Today, Kerry Needham – mother of Ben Needham, a 21-month-old who went missing on 24th July 1991 on the island of Kos in Greece – began a crowdfunder on JustGiving.com to raise £5,000 so she can increase the reward for information that could help find her son to £10,000.
Needham, unlike Gerry and Kate McCann – who’ve benefitted to the tune of £12.5 million in public money alone towards the search for their ‘disappeared’ daughter – is someone who has had to campaign by comparison virtually alone for justice for her child.
On JustGiving.com today, Kerry Needham announced:
Two stories to keep beside you
Hero of the Hour: Kerry Needham
Kerry Needham speaks for the nation in calling for more help for parents of missing children (other than just Madeleine McCann)
Kerry Grist-Needham (formerly Kerry Needham)
Since her twenty-one-month year old son Ben went missing on the Greek Island of Kos in July 1991, Ms. Grist-Needham has tirelessly campaigned to try and find him. Unlike with other cases, little help has been given by the authorities or charities. A volunteer named Scott Morrison has set up a website at http://www.helpfindben.co.uk and […]
“This year marks 30 years since Ben disappeared. We are raising £10,000 to offer as a reward for information leading to Ben. In 2016 South Yorkshire Police ruled Ben died in an accident. However, due to DNA analysis NONE of the items found can be linked to Ben. We need to find the truth and hope this reward will help someone do the right thing. Please help the Needham family who live this nightmare every day.”
“The first funding page raised over £5,000 thank you all so much. The second one is to hopefully raise the difference to offer a £10,000 reward for information leading to Ben. Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated. Please keep sharing.”
We urge readers to support the crowdfunder by clicking here. Even a small donation of just £10 could make a huge difference to the resolution of the search for a young man whose family truly deserve justice.
