Amy has spoken publicly about the tragedy, including expressing concerns over the distribution of funds raised for victims and the community through the “Lewiston-Auburn Area Response Fund” managed by the Maine Community Foundation. She questions the allocation of approximately $1.9 million to nonprofits rather than directly to victims’ families and survivors, while noting ongoing needs like counseling and financial support for her family.
