At 3 am on Wednesday morning, Peter was forced to evacuate his family's ranch in Altadena due to the Eaton fires. He stayed as long as he could, making sure all of his horses were safely moved to boarding facilities, before the fire department forced him to leave as well.

While Peter survived, his family's ranch--the ranch they bought when he was just 9 years old; the ranch he lived in for more than 50 years; the ranch he worked, caring for the animals his whole life--did not survive the fire.

Due to the National Guard safety restrictions and the continued fire threat, he hasn't been able to return to assess the damage, but chances are, they are catastrophic. He has been staying at hotels, but is rapidly running out of money and could use any support possible.

Peter's wife is a teacher at my school who goes above and beyond for her students and any help provided to this amazing family would be incredibly appreciated.
