With every passing day, the search grows more desperate for Donnell Cunningham, a hearing-impaired man who vanished from his southeast Houston home last Friday. Tonight, the community will rally once more, hoping someone holds the key to finding him.
What makes the search even more urgent is that Donnell is hearing-impaired. His loved ones fear that he may not be able to hear others calling out to him, making it harder for him to ask for help or respond to searchers.

Donnell was last seen around 10:30 a.m. on Friday, June 20, at his home in the 6900 block of Eastwood Street, where he lives with his mother. He hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
Friends, family, and neighbors will gather for a community search on Friday, June 27, at 6 p.m. in the area near 6830 Cullen St. at Idaho St. in southeast Houston. Volunteers will hand out flyers and canvass the neighborhood in hopes of finding someone who may have seen Donnell.
His family says they immediately sprang into action. His sisters, Tonia and Pamela, began walking the neighborhood, visiting local stores, calling out his name, and printing flyers to raise awareness. A formal missing persons report was filed with the Houston Police Department on June 24.
