The devastation from the tornado that tore through Wisconsin yesterday is truly beyond comprehension. Our hearts are with every family, business, and community affected.
If you’re a contractor, tree service, construction crew, equipment operator, volunteer, or simply someone willing to lend a hand, please consider helping. This may not be our neighborhood, our community, or our county, but these are our fellow Wisconsinites. Let’s show them what Wisconsin Strong really means.
Some of our close friends, Tara and Derik Muckerheide, lost their home on Green Bay Street in Menasha. Tara was home with their four children and all of their pets when the tornado struck while Derik was at work. She was able to get everyone to safety just in time. They then had to make their way through the devastation with their children and animals to reach safety and reunite with Derik.
Their home is still standing, but only barely, and it is no longer livable. They are currently staying in a hotel through the 30th, after which they will need temporary housing or housing assistance. We are currently fostering their animals and were with them last night helping recover essential belongings from what remains of their home.
Starting tomorrow, and for the rest of the week, our Household Handy Husbands crew will be on Green Bay Street in Menasha starting at their home helping with debris cleanup, tree removal, and anything else we can do. If you’re able to volunteer, bring equipment, or simply show up with a willingness to help, we’d love to have you join us. You can contact us for details or just come out and lend a hand.
This is where we’re starting, but it won’t be where we stop. If you’re in the area and have been affected by the storm, please comment or send us a message. We’ll do everything we can to help as we work our way from one family to the next.
If you aren’t able to volunteer but would like to help this family get back on their feet, you can donate directly through:
💙 Venmo
* Tara: -Muckerheide
* Derik:
You may also send donations to Household Handy Husbands if that is easier. 100% of every dollar received will go directly to Tara and Derik to help with housing, essentials, and rebuilding.
Whether you can donate, volunteer, share this post, or simply keep this family in your thoughts, every act of kindness makes a difference.
One family at a time. One neighborhood at a time.
Let’s show everyone what it truly means to be Wisconsin Strong. ❤️💪
