ABBY POTASH

Abby Potash and her son Sam Fastow

Abby's ten-year old son, Sam Fastow, was abducted by a family member on July 19, 1997. Thankfully he was recovered on March 29, 1998. His recovery was a direct result of being recognized from a picture postcard that was distributed by ADVO.

As a result of her traumatic experience, Abby, became a tireless advocate for families of missing children. Abby is pursuing a graduate degree in clinical social work and is the current Director of Team HOPE, a peer support volunteer program of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
