It has been months since Hurricane Helene destroyed areas of the southeastern United States. Since that happened, it has been the mission of a team of Wisconsinites to do whatever they can to help those impacted.
For the last couple of months, JJ Winnemuller and his team in Fredonia have been buying and fixing up campers (sometimes they are donated). The volunteers donate the campers to victims of the hurricane who have been left homeless. There are hundreds if not thousands of people still living in tents and in their cars.
“We’re getting going on purchasing more campers and getting them ready to go,” JJ Winnemuller said.
These are more than just campers. They are signs of hope for the people that receive them.
“Being down there seeing what it’s like it definitely opens your eyes,” Winnemuller said about the destruction the hurricane caused.
So far Winnemuller and his team have fixed up and donated about 12 campers. It’s all through the organization TN & NC Strong .
