<div>Our world changed forever on October 30th, the last day anyone saw or heard from our daughter Caitlyn Sandt. She vanished from the 1400 block of 18th Street in Bradenton, Florida, and hasn’t been seen since. We are the Sandt family, and we are reaching out to you with broken hearts and unwavering hope, asking for your help in the search to bring Caitlyn home.

<div>Who Is Caitlyn?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Caitlyn is just 19 years old—a young woman with her whole life ahead of her. She is funny, warm, artistic, and deeply caring. She’s a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, soon to be auntie, best friend, and someone who leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. Caitlyn loves animals, music, makeup, and spending time with her family. She had dreams of becoming a makeup artist where she could help other people see their own beauty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her absence has left a hole in our hearts and our home. Not knowing where she is—or if she’s safe—is a nightmare we wouldn’t wish on anyone.
</div>

</div>
<div>What Happened
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Caitlyn was last seen on October 30, 2024, in Bradenton, Florida, near the 1400 block of 18th Street. Since that moment, we’ve had no communication from her. Her social media has been inactive, and there have been no leads as to her whereabouts. This is completely out of character for Caitlyn. She would never disappear without contacting someone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We filed a missing person report, and law enforcement is actively investigating. But every hour that passes without answers feels like an eternity—and we need to do more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We’re Raising Funds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The emotional toll of Caitlyn’s disappearance is unimaginable. But there’s also a significant financial burden that comes with searching for a missing loved one. That’s why we’re humbly asking for your help. Donations to this GoFundMe will go directly toward efforts to bring Caitlyn home, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If this campaign reaches $10,000 our intention is to allocate those funds toward a reward for information leading to the safe return of Caitlyn, in cooperation with law enforcement.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Printing Flyers and Banners: To spread awareness in Bradenton and surrounding counties, and across state lines if necessary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Emergency Legal and Support Services: In the event we need professional assistance in the search.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>How You Can Help

<div>From Our Family to Yours
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We never imagined we’d be writing something like this. Caitlyn is everything to us. Not knowing where she is has been the most painful experience of our lives—but we believe in miracles, in community, and in the power of love and determination.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help us bring our girl home.
</div>
