Help a fellow EHS alumnus and his family recover from tragedy

Michael Johnson ’02, his wife Andrea, and their three young boys lost everything to a house fire, on February 19, in Oregon, Wisconsin. Mike was at work and his wife was picking up the children from school when the fire happened, so they are all ok, but sadly, their two pet dogs Malcolm and Sadie died in the fire. The house is a total loss and the family lost all their possessions, including Mike’s military service medals/awards for his time spent the Middle East.

The Johnson family needs our help and support. Contributions to a relief fund at MyEvent (the page has now closed) provided more than $8,000 to support them with food, clothing, and everyday necessities. All donations are greatly appreciated.

On February 21, this family updated was posted at MyEvent:
The Johnson family is so very thankful for everyone and all the donations! They are so blessed to have all of you!  They are in the process of finding a house to rent that will make the boys and themselves feel like it’s home again. There has been so many donations beyond here as well for the boys and they are getting better day by day. They ask a lot of questions, but still don’t really understand the whole process of this. But they all know there are so many people helping them all that helps put smiles on their faces!
