Xavior Harrelson is 11-years-old and disappeared on May 27th, 2021 from Montezuma, Iowa without a trace.  Law Enforcement has no leads and after days of searching, the case seems to be stalling.  There's a reasonable chance he's still alive.  So let me be clear - each and every person who sees this petition has the power to save a life.  This is an opportunity to be part of something amazing, simply by signing and sharing.

Xavior, if you can see this, there is a message for you at the end.

I am making an initial donation of $25,000 to a reward fund that will be used for information leading to Xavior's SAFE return.  

The only way to get him back is for this petition to reach whoever may be holding him.  This is why it's so important that you sign and share.  The momentum created by each signer is exponential! 

We have to succeed at two objectives to ensure his safe return:

1.  $25,000 will not be enough - we have to raise more.  Although it will help, you don't have to donate.  If every person shares this petition with ten people and only one of them donates $25, we will raise the reward amount needed to get the attention of the media, and those knowing his whereabouts.  But there must be enough incentive for someone knowing his whereabouts to come forward without harming him.  That's why it's critical that everyone shares and supports this cause.  

2. As noted above, it's critical that we reach as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

I have reason to believe he is still alive.  I can't share specifics, but I can say the information is out there for anyone who knows how to find it.  It does take some digging.  I have shared what I've found with law enforcement.  If Xavior is still alive, we are in a race against time.

Xavior is special.  His life has not been easy.  He comes from a broken home and he's had to carry more burden than any child should.  His life before now has been spent caring for his disabled mother, instead of having a mother care for him.  His childhood has been plagued by anxiety and insecurity.  He's never had the luxury of a reassuring home life.  I know he has dreamed of making a better life for himself and I know he has felt hopelessness.  Despite having so much stacked against him, he's managed to cope and remain strong before now.  And for what?  So someone could just come along and take his dreams from him? 

I just can't accept that.  Every child deserves a chance to find their way.

I've never met Xavior.  I've never been to Iowa.  But the lack of attention to his story is tragic.  I can only assume he doesn't matter enough because he doesn't come from a life of privilege.  He has no advocate pushing the investigation.  There's no one with enough money to make people accountable.  He has no one.

I'm a single mother of two boys.  I provide well for them, but I don't have a dime saved for their college.  $25,000 is everything I have, but I'm happy to part with it if it means saving Xavior's life.  I may have to take out a line of credit for some of it.  I might be judged for it.  Some will say I'm an irresponsible mother.  My family has no idea (yet) what I'm planning.  Their father won't be happy.  And I don't know if my boys will understand.  But they WILL have a chance to find their way.  And I think there's a bigger lesson to be learned here.

I wouldn't expect anyone else to do what I'm doing.  But I do hope my sincerity is coming through and I can inspire you to be part of this.  It's a chance to see how it feels to care about someone who's no one to you.

Someone who's no one.  Let that sink in.

Montezuma State Bank has a reward fund set up for any information leading to his whereabouts - dead or alive.  I don't want him returned dead.  I want him returned alive.  Offering this kind of reward is concerning to me.  It essentially motivates someone to harm him.  If someone holding him wants the money - and they don't want him to talk - they will murder him!  This only puts him in more danger if he's still alive.  And I don't believe they have any evidence to the contrary.

I hope people will choose to support this fund - to bring him home safely.  I am actively working on getting an Iowa bank to sponsor the fund and trusted local official to provide oversight.  Hopefully it won't take more than another week.  But make no mistake - if you take me at my word, there IS a $25,000 reward now for his safe return.  And I will hand deliver it if I have to.

I'll update this petition with all of the information once the account is all set up.  It is my intent that all funds raised will be returned to donors after a specified amount of time, in the event that he is not found.  

This is a rare chance to be part of something amazing.  I believe that, together, we can move mountains.

Please share this petition with everyone you know.  Share it with people you don't know.  You can follow the Facebook page for more information.

Let's bring him home.

Xavior, if you can see this, don't be afraid to ask for help.  If you're afraid to contact police, you can contact me.  I'm just a regular person.  You don't know me, but sometimes you have to take a leap of faith.  You can trust me.  I will come for you, no matter where you are.  No one will punish you if you've run away - I won't let them.  And half of the $25,000 reward will be yours to keep - even if you ran away.  Because I know, if you did run away, there had to be a reason.  The whole world can see this.  I won't change my mind.  And I will keep my promise to you.  All you have to do is send a message or call.  I'm easy to find.  Amanda Marie Baker (Amanda Feldsher)
