Streb Family Deployment Support

Grand Haven, MI

Story

This page supports the Streb Family during Dean's military deployment. Dean has been in the Air National Guard for 13 years and this is his very first deployment! He is gone now and will not return until approximately the beginning of November. Dean and Tara are parents to four biological adult children. In addition, they recently adopted 3 sisters from foster care and have 2 additional foster children in their home. Neither of them could have predicted a deployment during this crazy time in their home with five children all 6 years of age and younger. Tara owns her own business and is currently trying to off load some of the work to new employees, but she will struggle with nightly routines especially making and serving dinner to the five kids. The littlest likes to attach himself to her legs while she is trying to make food and if he isn't doing that, he is likely getting into mischief! The best way to help is to donate or deliver meals that are easy to warm up or are ready to go. Easy to pick up meals are an option as well. Tara will also struggle with maintaining the yard work. Neighbors and friends have offered to help mow the lawn but it would be great to spread it out so they are not doing it all of the time. There may also be times that child care would be great in the evenings or on the weekends. A night out or even just a quick dinner out with her grown kids would help Tara immensely. A break from the "littles" will help her from being burnt out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!


Special Notes

The family is not picky for meals. The kids will eat almost anything.
