Antoinette Forbes is missing from Washington, DC, and her family and friends are urgently working to find her and bring her home safely. Antoinette is a kind and talented mother, sister, daughter, colleague and friend to many throughout DC and beyond. She disappeared from her home the weekend of September 4.

As the search continues, her family is facing immediate and unexpected expenses. We have established this fund so that they have the resources they need to focus on finding Antoinette and responding to the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Funds raised will be available to Antoinette’s family for expenses directly related to the search and the family’s immediate needs, including:

* Legal counsel and related professional services

* Search efforts and materials

* Transportation and travel associated with the search

* Printing, communications and public awareness efforts

* Other necessary professional services

* Emergency expenses arising for Antoinette and her family while she remains missing

Aileen Forbes, Antoinette’s sister, is the designated beneficiary of this fundraiser and will receive and manage the funds on behalf of the family.

We will use this page to provide verified updates as the search continues. To protect Antoinette, her family and the integrity of the investigation, we may not be able to share every detail publicly.

If you are able, please donate. Just as importantly, please share Antoinette’s information widely. Every additional person who sees her photograph and knows she is missing increases the chance that someone with useful information will come forward.

If you have information concerning Antoinette’s whereabouts, please use the official contact information provided on the missing-person flyer. Please do not post unverified sightings, private information or speculation publicly.

Thank you for helping Antoinette’s family continue the search and bring Antoinette home.
