Tacheny Exteriors Honors Legacy, Offers Lifeline of Support to Local Couple

Saint Paul, Minnesota - March 3rd, 2024

In a poignant display of community support and historical significance, Tacheny Exteriors, a family-owned business deeply rooted in Saint Paul, Minnesota, recently extended a generous gesture to a local couple facing adversity. Nathan and Lexi LeVasseur, sixth-generation members of the Tacheny family and representatives of Tacheny Exteriors, discovered a remarkable connection between their family's past and the present-day challenges of Wendy and Dan Mattila, the current residents of their ancestral home.

Moved by the couple's plight — Wendy's battle with stage 4 lung cancer and the recent damage to their home caused by hailstorms— Nathan and Lexi made an impromptu decision to offer the couple a free roof replacement. Little did they know, Wendy and Dan were celebrating their union on the very day of this serendipitous encounter.

The discovery of a WWII draft card bearing the name "Tacheny Bros" as the employer, alongside the address of the couple's ancestral home, underscored the enduring legacy of craftsmanship and heritage that has defined the Tacheny family for generations. This connection, combined with the couple's dire need for assistance, spurred Tacheny Exteriors into action.

The gesture not only highlights Tacheny Exteriors' commitment to giving back to the community but also sheds light on the financial hardships faced by many families dealing with serious illnesses. Denied insurance coverage and burdened by the overwhelming costs of Wendy's treatment, the couple found themselves in dire straits.

The roof replacement offer on the day of Wendy and Dan's wedding symbolizes a gesture of hope and renewal, representing a fresh start for the couple as they embark on this new chapter of their lives together, fortified by the support of their community and the legacy of the Tacheny family.

Tacheny Exteriors has established a 'GoFundMe' page for this couple. Every small contribution will go a long way in alleviating Wendy's medical expenses."
