It was 2004, the day after Christmas, and thousands of European and American tourists had flocked to the beaches of Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia to escape the winter chill in a tropical paradise.
At 7:59 AM, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake, one of the largest ever recorded ripped through an undersea fault in the Indian Ocean, propelling a massive column of water toward unsuspecting shores. The Boxing Day tsunami would be the deadliest in recorded history, taking a staggering 230,000 lives in a matter of hours.
Lisa May lost her life that day, but her memory lives on through the work of the Foundation in her name. 15 years on many people have been helped through their own personal waves of disaster by random acts of kindness and donations made by The Foundation in Lisa's name.
We cannot change the past, but we help shape the future one donation at a time.
Take a minute to remember those we have loved and lost and try to help someone in need when you can. 🙏❤️
