The community in Juneau County, Wisconsin

Ok, I admit it - I've bitched and moaned about needing to move to a larger area with more opportunity for a single mom raising two boys - Let's face it - rural USA doesn't exactly have the resources...ample employment...nor a living wage to offer someone like me to make it on my own without child support - that's just being real..........

But at the same time there's something about living here in Juneau County that I know can never be replaced anywhere else - and that's the community spirit -

Unfortunately the past couple of weeks that face, the face of a community working together and caring for one another, wasn't the face the rest of our nation saw when the name Juneau County, Wisconsin, was discussed- and we all know why - I don't think I need to remind you all of it...

So............

This post is dedicated to the reminder I received this morning on why exactly this community is so special - this morning a group of ladies came together to help strangers....strangers who are either on the verge of being homeless or already homeless here in Juneau County, Wisconsin where unemployment is high....poverty is rampant...opportunities are few and far between but the one thing we do have here are strong..determined and loving hearts. And, some of those hearts came together this morning to help strangers that rely on Lend a Hand - an organization I have documented the birth of right here on my blog..and one I am so very proud of....

The video below will tell the story and show you all the TRUE face of the people here in Juneau County, Wisconsin - you'll see the only thing that mattered to these women was on how they could help the community without questioning who they were helping - TOO COOL!

So with that.......here we go................
