The Beare Family

This is the first family we helped, and we are honored to do so. Olivia Beare’s husband, Steven, set out to climb Mount Elbrus in Russia and was overcome by a 2-day whiteout storm. Steven did not return.

Efforts were made to locate him and then, with no success, to retrace Steve’s route. Unfortunately, they have not found him, nor any of his gear. Olivia and her son were put in an insurmountable situation with their home and mortgage. Olivia says, “Just keeping our lives going as we had planned is really important to me.”

Because of the generosity of the many donations to our cause, we were able to assist the family and help Olivia stay in her home.
