“We still believe that she can come home, hope against hope, as my sister says,” Guthrie shared. “We are blowing on the embers of hope. We also know that she may be lost, she may already be gone.”
She added a poignant message about acceptance: “If this is what is to be, then we will accept it. But we need to know where she is.”
Family Donates to Help Other Missing Children
In addition to the reward for her own mother, the Guthrie family is donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Savannah explained this gift acknowledges the millions of other families living with the same painful uncertainty.
