Support the Search for Hannah Kobayashi

My sister Hannah Kobayashi has been missing since Monday, 11/11/2024. Her last known location was LAX. She missed her connecting flight to NY where she was supposed to meet up with some of our family.

While the community support have been truly astonishing, the scope and intensity of the search are expanding, and so are the expenses with them. We still have not even been able to get any answers from LAPD or LAX and feel we need to continue to push harder to expedite the process.

We are raising money to support the continuing mission to bring Hannah home.

Below is a list of how we anticipate using these funds:

Food & hydration for the search teams, most of whom are volunteers

Transportation for our family and critical support team

Communication devices and technology for an extensive search area with no cell phone service

A media campaign to maximize awareness of Hannah’s missing person case and how to get in touch with the appropriate authorities

Temporary accommodations for essential personnel

On-site support for our family

Note: Please be aware that GoFundMe charges a transaction fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per donation to help cover payment processing. GoFundMe will also ask you if you would like to add a tip. This is up to your discretion.

These funds will go directly to that effort.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Let's bring my sister home safely.
