Justice for Abdi

Abdullahi Sharif -- one of the sweetest boys so many of us were lucky enough to know -- has been missing since the evening of January 17th, when he was last seen outside of his work (Target) at the Merle Hay Mall in Des Moines, IA.  Community has come together in an incredible way already to contribute time, financial resources, and general love and support to help his family while all of our worlds have been turned upside down. 

It has been incredibly painful, as well as aggravating to be left without the answers we all so badly need.  We are beyond fortunate to have secured the most incredible, dedicated, and loving Private Investigator Stephanie who many of you in the community have come to know and appreciate.  Stephanie has worked day in and out since January to find us answers, and has come upon developments that both break our hearts and keep us motivated to get what we need -- closure.  

We are starting this new GoFundMe to ask you -- strangers and friends alike -- to help us raise some funds to keep Stephanie going - to provide her the resources necessary to cover costs to close out this case, and to help raise the reward for tangible information/leads to finding Abdullahi. 

It is hard not to become emotional when I reflect on what incredible support and love this community has shown already.  If you have the ability to do so, please help us.
