The One in Five Foundation for Kids, a Texas-based national nonprofit, is joining the ongoing search for Maria Gomez Perez, a missing 12-year-old from Gainesville who was last seen at her home in late May.
The group is assembling a team of volunteers from its STOPNOW school community patrol team in its Dallas, San Antonio and Bell County chapters, who will be distributing flyers with Maria’s picture on them in Bell, McClennan and Baxar counties in Texas.
“Now is not the time to end the search for this young lady,” STOPNOW Patrol teams director James Earle said. “It is time to bring her home.”
Originally founded in response to the Robb Elementary School shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas in May 2022, the foundation originally operated under, “The Uvalde Foundation For Kids.”
It has been a week since the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) issued an update on its investigation into Maria’s disapperance. HCSO Maria Update: Tips slowing down, but investigation continues (wgtjradio.com)
