“Max has lived and experienced more in his short life than his life more than most children get in their lives,” says Gofundme. “He had to live a life of adventure and exploration while building some of the dearest memories with his mother, father, friends and family.”
Organizers Max described as “a vital spirit with a huge heart that brought a lot of joy”, and they said that his parents, Mickey and Crisi, “real people always try to find good within others.”
The family, which has often spent time for camping, exploring the beaches of Ventura, and visiting friends and relatives throughout California and Idahu, has been greeted with some time instead of evaluating material things.
The collection of donations was organized by close friends who said Mikey and Christy are not the one who asks for help but now needs all the support they can get.
Max loved ones say that “all those who knew him will miss him.”
