As a full year passes since April Parisian was last seen, her family and friends are redoubling their efforts to bring her home.

Parisian鈥檚 sister, Laura Hall, recently set up a GoFundMe fundraiser to pay for billboards to be installed along major highways throughout the Fraser Valley, keeping April鈥檚 name in the spotlight in the hopes of bringing her home.

鈥淲e plea for the public鈥檚 help to donate money, resources and help us fundraise in order to assist us in the search for April,鈥� Hall wrote on the fundraising page. 鈥淲e have raised funds to pay for the billboards but need help with the construction costs and labor. We would also like to raise funds to be able to offer a cash reward to anyone who aids in the direct result of bringing April home.

鈥淧lease help us bring home our Sister, Daughter, Mother and dear friend,鈥� she continued. 鈥淪he is deeply missed by so many.鈥�
