On August 9th 2025, major floods hit the Milwaukee area. Many neighborhoods and businesses were destroyed. Residents of the area are struggling to recover after this tragic event due to a lack of coverage from insurance as well as a lack of natural disaster federal help. One of our very own beloved community members needs our support. Joseph Beaver has been a part of the Milwaukee skateboarding community for over 20 years. His entire life has been dedicated to the two things he loves the most, his son Evan & building community through documenting skateboarding. Now it’s our turn to help his household recover.

This is just some of the things he’s lost:

Washer & Dryer

water heater

furnace

air purifier

dehumidifier

Stairwell carpeting 

Evan’s ENTIRES bedroom

Mattress

dresser

tv stand 

all electronics (Xbox, Nintendo switch, vr headset, record player, record collection, light, fan) 

Sections of trim & baseboards. 

4 cameras

2 VX1000s, HVX200, Sony Alpha, 

Century fisheye, 8mm fisheye, flashes, chargers batteries, light, capture cam, etc. 

Stored kitchen appliances (insta pot, crockpot, popcorn maker, bread maker, etc) 

As well as many more irreplaceable items.

Let’s help our buddy get back on his feet. Please donate if you can. Anything helps!

Thank you!
