Broadcast The Missing

If I haven’t met you yet, please allow me a moment to introduce myself. My name is Anna Cannard. I am 34 years old. I have lived in the beautiful state of New Hampshire for almost 9 years now. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work. I currently work in special education in a local school. In my free time I love traveling, hiking, volunteering, and most recently I’ve picked up the hobby of gardening and teaching myself to play piano. I’m really living the life of my dreams.
But there is one fact about me that most wouldn’t have guessed if I didn’t tell them.

I am a trauma survivor. Throughout my childhood I experienced every kind of trauma imaginable.

For years I worked helping struggling families who were at risk of having their children removed due to abuse and neglect. One of my biggest takeaways from this experience was that unresolved childhood trauma is what leads parents to the behavior and poor decisions that cause their children’s trauma. Trauma is a vicious cycle that is passed down from generation to generation until we adults make the decision to accomplish the extremely difficult task of facing and healing our own trauma.
I recently wrote a book telling my story of my traumatic experiences, my journey towards recovery, and what I learned about the effects of trauma along the way. I hope my story may serve as a sort of road map for others who are trying to recover too.

If you or someone you know has survived trauma but are still learning to heal, please consider getting a copy of my book “The Many Sides of Me” available on Amazon now.

February 3, 2019, 9 year old Serenity June Dennard disappeared from a children’s home for behaviorally challenged children in Rockerville, South Dakota. Just hours after she was last seen, breaking out of the children’s home, a fierce blizzard hit and buried the region in over a foot of snow. No trace of Serenity has ever been found. The day after she was reported missing, a group of volunteer missing child advocates, who call themselves The AAdmins, launched an intense online awareness campaign for Serenity. That cause has amassed nearly 14,000 followers to date. In 2021, for the 2nd anniversary of Serenity’s disappearance, AAdmins volunteer Anna Cannard wrote a poem dedicated to the search for Serenity. Recently The AAdmins put the request out to musicians, to help turn that poem into a song. June 19, 2024, the talented musician Angel Anthony-Cope answered the call and composed this song; Serenity’s Prayer. Cannard and Anthony-Cope hope that this song will reach far and wide, keeping the search for Serenity alive, and hope that someday this prayer may even reach Serenity herself. “Serenity, where ever you are, please know you’re not alone. So many never knew you, tonight are longing just to see you.” #missingpersons #missingchild #serenitydennard #ncmec #missingperson
