Lahaina Fires: Helping Max Tornai, Mary, & Ollie
Donation protected
Hi everyone. Although this fundraiser was started by friends of Max, it's really for Max, Mary, and Ollie.
For those of you who worked with Max at Circles, or anywhere else for that matter, you know what an incredible person he is. He is fun, funny, witty, caring, hard-working, dedicated, and above all, a really great friend.
I used to work with Max, but I've had the pleasure of meeting Mary and Ollie and love watching them all together. I'm grateful that they have each other through this incredibly trying time!
Sadly, Max, Mary, and Ollie lost their home to the fires in Maui. Thankfully, they are okay physically, but they've lost everything. It's truly devastating.
In the picture posted, their property line is a minute walk up from the white tower/smoke stack. So as you can see, everything is gone.
Jess and I worked with Max at Circles for years, and are fortunate enough to be able to call him a good friend. We thought it might be nice to raise a little money just to help them out. I can't imagine what it's like to lose everything and I'm sure they have insurance, but that's going to take a while and only going to cover so much.
Anything you can contribute is so greatly appreciated. I know all of our hearts are with them.
Thank you so much for considering! (And THANK YOU to those who have already contributed. I am in awe of your generosity and thoughtfulness.)
Here's a picture of Max, Mary, and Ollie in happier, more carefree times.
