Amy Sussman, aunt of Max Hathaway, a victim in the Lewiston shooting, discussed the mismanagement of the Lewiston Victims Fund. Despite raising $6.6 million, only 74% went to victims and their families, with $1.9 million allocated to 29 nonprofits. Nonprofits used funds for various purposes, including building walls and security cameras. Sussman criticized the Maine Community Foundation for lack of transparency and misallocation of funds. She highlighted the need for direct support to victims, including counseling, and called for accountability and redirection of funds to meet victims’ needs.
