Last week, President Trump approved 30 million dollars in federal assistance for people impacted by devastating floods in August. That means residents in Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Washington counties whose homes or property were damaged by the floods, may get some relief. One of the homeowners trying to rebuild is Wauwatosa resident Jessica Young.
