Have you seen the @TeecycleTim post on the not-so-great Milwaukee flood of 2010? If not, please do. Their home is unlivable, and Katie @bootyp and I are organizing a fundraiser.

Milwaukee is an amazing community, and so is Twitter. Folks have started raising their hand and offering help. Will you help us raise some money to rebuild 12-week-old baby Clara’s room and the rest of the house? The unsinkable @bootyp said it best: Tim and Jess bring smiles to so many faces, it’s our turn to bring smiles for them to wear.

The date and place of the event will be announced very soon. If you want to help, and/or if you have a specific idea for what you might be able to offer, let us know. We’re close on a place, but still open to suggestions; needs to be able to provide room for a silent auction and a band and some other stuff. We’re close on a band, but in case the date doesn’t work for them, are open to suggestions. We need more silent auction items for sure; if you know celebrities who will autograph stuff for auction, that’s cool. We’re working on getting a flooring company and a window company involved to provide discounted floors and windows for the rebuild; if you have connections there, by all means, let us know.

If you want to help right now, please buy a Teecycle t-shirt and stay tuned for more information about the event.

You can make a difference. After all, as they say, it takes a village. Raise your hand, here or on Twitter.
