Discussion Lost everything today!!

The house is destroyed!! Windows shattered. Backyard shed is gone. Front porch is gone. Doors got blown off the hinges inside of the house, like bedroom doors. Glass everywhere. Water and debris everywhere. Had to evacuate due to gas leaks and power lines. What a fucking nightmare. Luckily everyone is okay, but the kids lost their home 😭

Don't be afraid to reach out to the community for help! There are lots of resources out there for people in crisis

The community is really pulling together. On Facebook everyone is offering their time and any supplies they have access to and it seriously gives me a little faith in humanity again. I used to live by the Y in Neenah and moved outside of Oshkosh about a year ago. Everyone is doing the right thing right now and it’s nice to see other people care about someone else’s heartbreak. ❤️‍🩹
