Tuesday evening, January 7, 2025, Lamar and Sarah Bontrager fled their home as the powerful Eaton wildfire bore down on Altadena in Los Angeles, California. The following day, they received the heartbreaking news that their house and possessions had been reduced to ashes.

As their family, we invite you to join us in rallying around Lamar, Sarah, and their four children as they figure out what to do next, and try to get back on their feet. The loss has been really hard on everyone, but especially the children, ages 2, 3, 7, and 8.

All funds collected will be given to them to purchase necessities such as clothing as well as to cover other basic living expenses for now. "It's just like we're starting all over again, just with four kids this time," Sarah said.

Thank you for your contribution to their lives. God bless you for sharing!
