    Ibbott said they’re helping share Onotera’s information on social media and coordinating the volunteer search because they understand what her family is going through: “Hanging on to so much hope at a week out, but really trying to process it all and understand there’s so much that you have to do.”

    “You have to act faster and harder than you’ve ever acted in your life while also facing the most unimaginable trauma,” Ibbott said.
