The Family of Missing HaLeigh Cummings to Hold Balloon Release in Honor of HaLeigh’s Birthday

Aug. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- Satsuma, FL – Today, the family of HaLeigh Cummings is inviting  people across the United States to join them in a balloon release on August 17th  to honor HaLeigh’s 6th  birthday, as well as to help raise awareness across the country that HaLeigh is still missing.  The family is asking the public for their help by joining the family in the balloon release.  

Ronald Cummings, father of HaLeigh stated, “I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that is helping with HaLeigh’s birthday balloon release. Please bring my baby home. I love her and I miss her with all of my heart.”  

HaLeigh’s family is very thankful to all those that are joining the family in honoring HaLeigh on her birthday, as well as in helping to keep HaLeigh’s picture out in the public eye.  Ms. Teresa Neves, HaLeigh’s paternal grandmother said, “I hope that somebody will see HaLeigh’s flier and it will help bring my baby home to the family who loves her and misses her dearly.”  

To participate, print out a HaLeigh’s flier from the FDLE Missing Child website link below.  You can then take the flier to any location where a helium balloon can be purchased – purchase either a red or a purple balloon, which are HaLeigh’s two favorite colors – roll up the flier, insert it into the balloon, and have the balloon inflated.  

The family is asking everyone to release the balloons on August 17th at exactly 2:16 p.m. EDT in honor of HaLeigh’s 2:16 a.m. birth time.  The family feels that the 2:16 p.m. release time is a perfect time to honor HaLeigh’s birth.  “We would be in the middle of HaLeigh’s birthday party if HaLeigh was home with us, so that is the perfect time to release the balloons,” stated Ms. Neves.  

Please join Ronald Cummings and all of HaLeigh’s family and friends in releasing a balloon on August 17th at 2:16 p.m. EDT, in honor of HaLeigh’s birthday and to help HaLeigh find her way home.

Fliers can be easily printed from the listed website:
