We are Russell MacMaster’s friends and family.

We love Russell deeply. He is 93 years old and has lived a long, full life filled with stories, creativity, and kindness. In a devastating turn of events, a fire broke out at Westerbeke Ranch where Russell lived. His home was destroyed, and he lost everything—his clothes, his photographs, his camera, his computer, and with them, a lifetime of memories.

This has been a heartbreaking loss.

Our top priority right now is to rally around Russell and help him rebuild in whatever ways we can. At this stage in his life, starting over is an unimaginable challenge, and he needs our help to meet even his most basic needs.

We are asking for financial support to help provide him with essentials—clothing, personal items, and eventually a new place to call home. Every dollar counts, and every bit of kindness matters.

Thank you for standing with us and with Russell during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,

Russell’s friends and family
