First Responder Equipment Stolen

     This is my soon to be wife Ashley.  Together she and I have volunteered with  Search and Rescue in Deschutes County for over 10 years combined.  She is on numerous teams including, Mountain Rescue, Swiftwater, Medical, Snow Mobile, Field Team Leader program, and one of our few winter tracked vehicle operators.  She is incredibly valuable to our organization.  

    At some point yesterday, someone walked into our garage while I was in the back yard and stole all of her equipment.  Every bit of it, in broad daylight.   The amount of gear taken is staggering and extremely expensive.  We are talking years of carefully bought technical pieces of rescue gear.


    
    As of now, she has nothing and cannot deploy.  Devastated only begins to describe how we are both feeling right now.  We are asking for donations to directly help replace all of her equipment so she can get back to doing what she does best- rescuing.  Every donation big or small would be greatly appreciated!

The equipment stolen includes Arcteryx shells, entire rescue/climbing setups, countless clothes, alpine mountaineering equipment, Swiftwater gear, medical equipment and so much more.

Any remaining $ beyond what she needs to replace her gear will be donated back to Search and Rescue via the Deschutes County SAR Foundation (of which she is a board member too).

Also- local authorities have been notified and are working to locate her missing items.  If found all donations will be returned happily.

Thanks all!

Matt and Ashley
