A bank account is in the works, too, but has not yet been set up. The money will help her family cope with expenses including the cost of travelling back and forth to Ottawa, hotels, and help with the $50,000 reward they have offered for Kajouji's safe return.

Kajouji, a Brampton resident in her first year at Carleton University, disappeared March 9 and has not been seen or heard from since. She was last seen by a roommate around 11:30 p.m., leaving her dorm.

Searches by police, campus security, friends, family and students have been conducted on campus, along nearby riverbanks and wooded areas, but no clues as to her whereabouts have turned up.

A nighttime search along the tracks of Ottawa's light rail O-Train is being organized for tomorrow (Thursday) by students working with transit officials.

Kajouji's cellular telephone, diary, ice skates and campus card are missing from her room. The phone's charger, her identification and cash-filled wallet were left behind. She was upset over a breakup with her boyfriend and a fight with a close friend that night, according to her mother, Deborah Chevalier. She was not herself in the weeks leading up to her disappearance, Chevalier said.

However, Kajouji is a very bright and outgoing young woman, her friends and family say, and it is completely out of character for her to cut contact with everyone.

She had sent an email that night to a roommate to say she was going ice skating, but no rinks in the area were open and the city had been hit with a major storm that dumped 50 cm of snow and work was underway to clear roads and sidewalks of the snowfall.

Ottawa police say they have no evidence to suggest foul play in her disappearance. They are interviewing those who saw her last and trying to find out where she went after leaving the dorm.

The number of members on a Facebook site dedicated to trying to find Nadia and offer support to her parents has surpassed 14,500. It is driven by Carleton students, but Brampton teenagers who know Kajouji through high school and sea cadets are also following the ordeal and wanting to help. Some are trying to get to Ottawa from Brampton to help in searches organized by Carleton students, while others are distributing and posting "missing" flyers in high profile locations throughout Brampton.

All are hoping someone who saw something, knows something or can help figure out where Kajouji is will call Ottawa Police or Crime Stoppers.
