We are The Altadena Mountain Rescue Team. Many of you now know of Altadena, who may not have before, but not for the reason one would hope.

As you know, Altadena was decimated by the Eaton Fire, with many homes and businesses lost. Some of those who lost their homes were members of our team.

Team members conducted traffic control, evacuated those who were incapacitated, transported those without means of transport, detained suspected looters, and went door to door to notify residents of the need to evacuate.

The team worked through the night and into the early morning, with those who live in Altadena not knowing if they would have a home to return to.

Unfortunately, three of our members (Richard, Heather, & Masha) lost their homes and all of their possessions—a lifetime of memories and keepsakes.

Luckily, they are all safe, but they, like so many, are starting all over.

We would like to ask for your support for them, as they will need help getting back on their feet.

Please give what you can, and share this fundraiser.

All funds collected from this campaign will be split between the three members; none of this will be retained by AMRT. We are collecting on their behalf.
