<div>Finding Carlos, my son.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fifteen months ago, my son disappeared. He is one of more than 132,000 people currently missing in Mexico... most of them victims of organized crime, most of them never found.
</div>
<div>I did everything a parent is supposed to do. I went to the authorities. I filed every report. I gave my own DNA so it could be compared against the national database. Fifteen months later, that database has returned nothing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Mexican government has been unable to find my son. The investigations go cold. The silence grows. And families like mine are left carrying a weight that never lifts...emotionally, and financially.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am his father. I am still standing. And I refuse to stop looking.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising funds to hire private forensic specialists and investigators ... people with the tools and the experience to go where the authorities have not. This is not a small amount of money by any standard, and for a family in Mexico, it represents everything we have left to give.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am not asking for pity. I am asking for help finding my son, or at the very least, for the truth of what happened to him, so that we can give him the dignity he deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If even one family in Mexico sees this and finds the courage to keep searching, then this will have meant something beyond our own grief.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His name is Carlos He has a 10-year-old little girl who's asking for his daddy. He deserves to be found.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's an estimated cost breakdown:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Private Investigation &amp; Field Search, 40%
</div>
<div>Hiring licensed private investigators with experience in missing persons cases in Mexico, including fieldwork, informant networks, and coordination with local contacts in the area where Carlos was last seen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Forensic Specialists, 25%
</div>
<div>Engaging independent forensic experts who can analyze evidence, work with biological samples, and ... if necessary, assist in the identification of remains through DNA comparison outside of government channels.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Legal Support, 15%
</div>
<div>Retaining a lawyer to pressure authorities, file formal complaints, access official case files we have been denied, and navigate the legal system on our behalf.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Travel &amp; Logistics, 12%
</div>
<div>Transportation, lodging, and operational costs for investigators and family members who must be present during the search in potentially remote or dangerous areas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Documentation &amp; Communication, 8%
</div>
<div>Recording and preserving evidence, maintaining communication between specialists, and keeping our case visible through media and advocacy channels.
</div>
