Help the Rusty Toothbrush family get a new home

Their home of four years was stolen!

One of the most recognisable vehicles in snowboarding, the Rusty Toothbrush van, is gone. While visiting family abroad, they let a friend borrow their van; unfortunately, it got stolen while left unattended in Lyon, France.

Not only was this van a part of snowboarding, but more importantly, it was Alex, Chiara and one-year-old Indy's home.

With their selfless approach to life, they have not only given countless riders a platform to show their skills but also touched the hearts of everyone they met.

They invested so much time and love into making this a home for them and their little daughter India that it will be impossible to replace the emotional and sentimental value.

The least we can do for them is to help them get a new winter home as soon as possible.

In Chiara's words:

"Our home was so unique. It was tiny but it had everything. It wasn’t fancy at all but it to us, it was like wearing a Rolex. It was so homely. So warm. We loved it. A lot. It gave us joys and pains but it always took us everywhere. All the time…

Alex poured his heart and soul into making it the dream home I have always wanted. It was perfect in its imperfection. That’s what I loved about it. Every corner was made with love, sweat and lots of cuss words. But it was so worth it.

We are heartbroken and I really cannot express the infinite gratitude I have towards all the people that took the time to repost our post. Many of you know Rimor wasn’t just a van, he was our lifestyle. He was part of all our missions and projects. Rimor was one of us.

I hope this never happens to anyone because getting their house stolen is devastating and it has shattered my heart.

Rimor will definitely be missed but never forgotten."
