ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. – Maxine Russell has dedicated nearly 30 years to sending care packages to service members deployed around the world. What started as a gesture of support for troops turned into building a legacy for her deceased son. Since then, Maxine has sent more than 7,200 care packages, adopted military families for the holidays, and volunteers her time as a grief counselor to veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress, all in the name of her son Darren “White Rabbit” Russell.
