## Resource

An 81-year-old woman in Christchurch was found safe after four days lost—thanks to a WanderSearch tracking device. This charity, seeing a 30% surge in requests, helps vulnerable individuals with dementia, autism, or developmental delays stay safe while maintaining independence. For parents like Brittney Smith-Guerin, whose daughter Tui wears a tracker as a necklace, it’s a lifeline. Volunteers and police use the devices’ signals to locate missing people quickly. Rising awareness and dementia rates are driving demand, and WanderSearch relies on community support to keep this vital safety net running.
