Mother of missing teen Avonte Oquendo says she is hoping for a Christmas miracle. 

Oquendo's mother Vanessa Fontaine told My Fox NY that she is still hoping that her son, who has been missing since Oct. 4, will be home in time for the holidays. She spoke with reporters from the headquarters in Astoria, Queens, where volunteers help hand out fliers and spread the word about Avonte's disappearance.

Donations through their official Facebook page, Official Help Find Avonte, helps pay for supplies, including fliers in different languages.

Avonte, a 14-year-old who is severely autistic and nonverbal, was last seen running out of his school in Long Island City on October 4.

The family continues to implore people to volunteer to help with the search by distributing fliers. The new address of the Avonte Oquendo search headquarters is 21-81A 24th Street Astoria, N.Y. 11105, and the phone number is 718-606-6610.

"Without the volunteers it would be so difficult," Fontaine said. "They [volunteers] come from every borough, which is a good thing...we can get more fliers out there for people to search and look for him."

Fontaine recently told the Queens Gazette that they "want to get the word out that Avonte is still missing." 

"When he first disappeared, dozens of volunteers showed up to help with the search," she said. "We understand that people have their own lives, their own priorities," Fontaine said. "But we need volunteers to go out and look for him. We need people who can spread the word that Avonte is still missing."

As of Dec. 1, police said they have received close to 900 tips on the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline. Almost every tip has been investigated, but to no avail. Investigators have also viewed close to 1,000 videos, but they have not been able to locate the missing teen. The tapes have led to the discovery of two other missing children, however. 

The search for Avonte has expanded into New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester and parts of upstate New York. 

Fontaine believes that her son is alive, and that he was most likely abducted by a stranger shortly after he left his school. "Someone has him," she said. "We just have to keep looking until we find him and bring him home."

"Right now we need volunteers who can give us any amount of time to help with the search," an organizer said. "We need extra eyes on the street during the holiday season when hundreds of people are rushing around. We have to get people out there to look through the crowds, in case he's out there with someone."

The family is also mailing fliers to households and businesses in the city. 

Fontaine, who said she is not looking forward to Christmas this year, is urging the public to be on the lookout for her son. "He's out there, somewhere," she said. "I don't want anything for Christmas this year, except my son. All I want for Christmas is Avonte."
