Waunakee Neighborhood Connection

This month we are featuring Brad and Christina Hougaard for their amazing help.    Thank you all for helping make a difference!

The Hougaard’s Give Minivan to Waunakee Neighborhood Connection to Help a Family!

Another vehicle, the 7th one (!!), was graciously donated by Brad and Christine Hougaard! That’s 3 vehicles in just 6 months that WNC has been able to provide to families! WOW!

The process began when Brad and Christine emailed wanting to know if a family could use a 2002 Chevrolet Venture. Or course, we said, YES! Ballweg Chevrolet graciously agreed to diagnose the vehicle – checking for anything which might raise a red flag for a running and safe vehicle. Thank you to the businesses who provided parts and/or services: Ballweg Chevrolet, Weaver Auto Parts, Meffert Oil Company, Village Mobil, Super Lube, and Collision Masters.

Because of these generous donors, Lidia Montilla and her 3 children now ride in style. Lidia is thankful for what WNC does for her family and so she volunteers at the WNC Store 3-4 times a week and has done so for the past 4 years! She always has a smile on her face and is willing to help do whatever WNC needs, including translating the quarterly 6-page client newsletter and having her kids help with daycare during shopping hours. Her enthusiasm is overwhelming, WNC is blessed to have her as a great volunteer! Lidia’s husband travels for work and they only had one vehicle, making life very difficult. This wonderful gift makes life much more manageable for Lidia and her family. Lidia was totally surprised by this gift through WNC. Lidia’s comment summed it up best, “This is a life dream come true!”
