KHQ Right Now - News and Weather for Spokane and North Idaho | N. Idaho town rallies around cancer victim
Member Center:
SANDPOINT, Idaho. - A lifelong Sandpoint resident who is battling cancer and can no longer afford his medical expenses is going to get a little help from his neighbors.
The northern Idaho community is organizing a benefit on Saturday for 55-year-old Buff Johnson, whose medical bills have exceeded his insurance coverage.
The cancer treatments have left Johnson unable to work and depleted his savings.
Event organizer Jeannette Jones says members of the community close to Johnson, who was born in Sandpoint, organized the auction and dinner.
