Bring Mackenzie Michalski Home: Donate to the Search

This is Mackenzie. She is the light to our world—a heart of gold and a human worth more than words could describe. Kenzie is missing in Budapest (Hungary), which is near Ukraine. She is likely in danger. We need Buffalo and the world to contribute financially to finding her. Every single penny will go to finding her. The best investigators are expensive. The community is rallying behind her, and we need you to chip in anything possible.

Since Monday evening, Nov. 4, Kenzie has been missing in Budapest, Hungary. She is likely in danger.

We urge Buffalo and the international community to help find Kenzie. Please consider contributing toward this important mission -- any amount will make a difference. Every donation will directly support efforts to find Kenzie. Hiring the best private investigator is expensive. Costs for travel, lodging, advocacy, and legal representation are considerable. There is no time to lose. Kenzie's family and friends are humbled and grateful for your generosity and care.

What we know:

Kenzie was last seen around 10:00 PM, November 4th at Barack et Szilva Etterem in the Jewish Quarter of Budapest. Her friends received pictures from the bar Szimpla Kert shortly after. Since then, friends and family have received no communication. Kenzie's belongings were discovered at her Airbnb after the designated check-out time, and she missed her flight scheduled on Tuesday for Amsterdam. Kenzie's network is marshalling every resource available to find her. They are in close contact with the U.S. Embassy, consular affairs, stateside elected officials and media, Hungarian media, local authorities, businesses, legal representation and private investigative services.
