A Bigfork family has lost their home after Monday’s windstorm knocked a tree down on their house. According to a fundraising page for Josh and Jessie Milner, the strong winds knocked down a 60 foot tree which pinned Josh inside. It took six people to get him out of the rubble and taken to the hospital. Josh sustained some minor injuries but is okay. The house was destroyed. A fundraiser set-up by Cassie Campbell is aiming to raise $10,000 to help the family get back on their feet. The Facebook page is called “Relief For Josh And Jessie Milner,” and a donation button is located at the top of the page.
