Anonymous donor adds $60K to Mekayla Bali info reward fund

In a statement to Global News, RCMP say they 'hope with all our hearts' that new information will come up that will help them find Mekayla.

It was a painful week for the Bali family who marked the six year anniversary of the disappearance of their daughter, Mekayla. But an anonymous donation came at just the right time to bolster the reward for information leading to her return, according to the girl’s mother.

Mekayla Bali disappeared on April 12, 2016. She was seen on various surveillance footage throughout Yorkton, Sask.

Previous RCMP statements said she went to the Yorkton Bus Depot and inquired about a bus leaving for Regina, but it was determined she never purchased a bus ticket.

In a statement to Global News, RCMP say they hope new information will come up to help them find Mekayla.

For anyone who has information about her disappearance, the RCMP asks them to call their local police service or Crime Stoppers to report information anonymously.

Meanwhile, an anonymous donor came forward this week with a $60,000 donation to boost the reward fund to $100,000.

“The timing was really great with her upcoming anniversary and so we were delighted that some people in our community still feel that finding Mekayla is important and they want to do their part to help,” Paula Bali, Mekayla’s mother said.

Paula said the reward fund helps raise awareness about Mekayla’s disappearance.
