Brian and Lorraine Korthals need our help!!
Brian has Stage 4 Kidney Cancer and hasn't been able to work for over a year. This past August, Lorraine fell ill and was hospitalized for nearly two weeks. She hasn't been able to return to work yet and when she does, it will be on a very part time basis until her strength returns. Their medical bills at this point are phenomenal and growing.
Brian and Lorraine are lifelong residents of Worthington and have always worked very hard. Brian was a long time photographer at the Daily Globe where he traveled all over the area capturing memorable moments with his photos. His hard work won him many awards. Lorraine had been in management at Perkins since it opened over thrity years ago. She has been the "face of Perkins" as she has served so many people at the highest level, always making sure that her customers have had an enjoyable experience.
Because county and state programs base their qualifications on the previous year's tax return, at which time Lorraine was working full time and Brian borrowed from his retirement fund, they have been denied any help from social services.
Sanford used the same criteria and also denied helping them with medical bills. They have borrowed money from family members, depleted their retirement accounts and have nowhere else to turn. Needless to say, with neither of them able to work and medical bills that just keep growing, finances and health issues are overwhelming. Even when Lorraine returns to work; they won't be able to make a dent in all of these bills. Unfortunately, we can't help with the health problems, but we can help them financially to get through these very tough days. Please consider donating to this awesome , hardworking family.
