As you may be aware, Misko Makoons,  Red Bear "Misko/Red"  Benton,  has recently been diagnosed with Cancer. Having pain in his knee, his parents Eddie J and Danielle Benton sought medical attention as Red was complaining of pain in his knee. Upon the first visit, the doctors first thought it was "growing pains" often associated with children his age. As the pain continued though, his parents thought it best to bring him back in for further assessment. Upon this assessment, it was determined he has a cancer forming in his knee. 

Red has already begun treatment, but as we know this is a lengthy process which requires a lot of travel and expenses. Red is receiving treatment in Duluth MN, and lives in Lac Courte Oreilles "LCO" which is an hour and half journey one way. Misko has faced this illness with tremendous courage and bravery, as he is not afraid and has faith and belief in his healing and the thoughts and prayers of all his family and relatives. 

Misko Makoons, is the Grandson of Eddie Benton-Banai-ibun, and son to Eddie Benton Jr (Eddie J), and Danielle Benton. For all who know Misko, he is a caring, loving grandson, son, nephew, friend and little uncle himself. Misko is a champion Chicken Dancer, Singer, First Degree Midewiwin and most importantly an Anishinabemowin (Ojibway) speaker who attends the Waadookodaading Language Immersion School. Red is helping all Anishinabe people by learning and holding onto the Sacred Language of our people. 

At this time, the family and Red are in need of reliable transportation to ensure he can receive the treatment he needs. The family needs to purchase a vehicle immediately! Your financial support and donations will mean to the world to Red and his family at this time! 

Continued support for the family throughout the next year will be important, your love and prayers, as well as any donations you can make will go a long way.
