For Families of Missing People, Project Jason is Helpful Sep 21, 2008 OMAHA (KPTM) - Dozens stepped out Sunday morning to honor the families of local missing people. The walk and bike ride benefited Project Jason, a non-profit organization that helps relatives of missing people and aims to raise public safety awareness. Organizers handed out free ID kits to families. They're designed to help relatives and law enforcement in the event a loved one goes missing. "Put yourself in our shoes for a minute. If someone that you loved disappeared would you know where to go, would you know where to turn, would you know the steps to take and time is so crucial and we're here for you," said Kelly Jolkowski, founder of Project Jason. Family members of missing people say Project Jason has offered them support and critical resources. "Kelly's been a big help. She really pushes you, she wants to know too, she really helps you. She gives you hope," said Michelle Sells, who's father is missing. "They realize that a lot of people are in the same situation and a lot of people don't know how to get the word out. So they are a great support system for families with things like this," said Roger Cannon. Cannon's son (Benjamin) is also missing. The organization's new mascot, "ID Kitty," also made its debut Sunday. Project Jason hopes the mascot will help people understand the importance of creating ID kits for every member of the family. http://www.kptm.com/Global/story.asp?S=9048132&nav=menu606_24_10_1
