Helping residents in Wausau, Eau Claire, and the surrounding areas
Buska Gives Back
Our Buska Gives Back community outreach program invites Americans who have fallen on hard times to apply for an opportunity to receive six months of housing payments. One deserving family is selected annually, relieving them of this significant monthly obligation and assisting in providing an opportunity for a better future. Apply or nominate a family today.
Deserving Families We've Helped
Clark Family
Travis and Mikayla's boys entered this world at a very scary 24 weeks, weighing 1 lb. 7 oz and 1 lb. 8 oz. Axel Lee sadly made his way to heaven at about 30 hours old. Baby Maverick spent 108 days in the NICU and has defied all odds during his rough journey.
Nieslowski Family
On November 2, 2020, Brent fell 13 feet when his tree stand broke under him. Brent broke his neck and his C7 causing him to become a quadriplegic. During that time Brent, his wife Jodi, and their two daughters faced many uncertainties, question marks, and fears about their future.
Witter Family
Michael and Amanda Witter and their three children have been stricken with medical and employment challenges, which has made staying current with their bills challenging.
Salyers Family
Kimberly Salyers was selected for this award for her strength and selflessness while facing the devastating loss of her son. In 2010, Kim’s son, Noah, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at the age of eight years old.
Robinson Family
The Robinson family spent most of November and December under a cloud of worry when Veronica began experiencing severe abdominal pain. Adjusting to a single income while paying medical bills has been extremely challenging for the family.
Burgoyne Family
In May of 2019, the Burgoyne family’s lives were turned upside down in an instant when Brian Burgoyne was diagnosed with MS. To make things worse, they ended up in a battle with their insurance company forcing Brian to stop recommended treatments.
