Our friend Max was recently kidnapped and held for almost 24 hours and sexually assaulted during that time. It was extremely traumatising, but they are home and safe now. However, it is going to be a long process to undo the harm which has been inflicted upon them, and it is going to require a lot of support.
This fundraising campaign has been set up to support Max and their partner Heidi during this time. The purpose is to help relieve money-related stress, and allow both Max and Heidi to take time to focus on recovery. Since Max went missing, both have had to miss work, and there have been many extra expenses incurred throughout this experience.
Whatever amount we manage to raise will go directly to Max and Heidi and will be used towards rent, hydro, groceries, long distance phone calls, and other things that might make this time a bit easier for them.The amount we are asking for is about 2 months worth of their cost of living, but it would be good if we could raise more funds. Any amount you can contribute is appreciated!
Please note that the fundraising platform only accepts donations in USD. We don't want you to give more than you are able or intend to. Currently 20 USD is about 27 CAD.
