Mar's Story
Mar’s perfect world is one where everyone is prepared: ready for school, ready for life, ready in case of a disaster. A Snohomish resident, she LIVES UNITED by advocating for preparedness and relief efforts.
United Way supports disaster relief services provided the American Red Cross Snohomish County Chapter, where Mar serves on a team that “helps shield victims from any more trauma.” At a Lynnwood apartment fire that left 30 families with nothing last August, Mar set up temporary shelter and provided food, clothing and medical treatment.
A fire in her own home when she was 3 gave Mar the understanding and conviction to ensure others are ready for life’s unexpected events. This Live United Leader is a Champion, stepping up by speaking out and by donating to United Way.
“I have a passion for helping people get prepared,” Mar says. “When you are, it won’t be a disaster.”
