Can you help out a family in need?
An Oconomowoc Blogger has put up a nice website looking to help the victims of last week’s church explosion.Help The Victims of Oconomowoc has a touching profile of the family that actually lived in the building to the south of former First Baptist Church. We are particularly moved by the “Get to Know the Family,” post with features stunning portraits of each of the four people rendered homeless by the explosion.
The Oconomowoc Focus wrote a very nice story about the family in Tuesday’s paper. The feature can be read at the Living Lake Country site.
Lisa Lemieux was at work in Watertown when she heard over the news about the explosion of the church that has stood on the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Worthington Street for nearly a century.
Lemieux quickly got into her vehicle and began the trek back to her home at 20 S. Worthington Street, the southern neighbor of church.
The only thing on her mind during the drive home was hope that her home wasn’t going to be completely destroyed.
She had only lived there for 2 1/2 weeks.
If you have the financial wherewithal, or even if you don’t, please consider lending your hand to these folks in need. They list the info for making donations at their about page. These are real people, who don’t have things like toasters, scrapbooks, or familiar, clean clothes.
They had them up until last Wednesday.
Now all they have is Wishlists.
Help this family rebuild.
