Help and Support for Justin Kohn

Donation protected
The Kohn family has suffered an unimaginable heartbreak as many of you know. With the Lung Cancer Diagnosis of Justin on January 21st 2019, (Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma of the left lung with metastasis to multiple bones and brain (EGFR Mutation – Axon 19 Deletion)). We are establishing this Go Fund Me for those of you who wish to help with incurred household expenses. With our current pandemic state, we are unable to do any sort of in person fundraiser for Justin. Our goal is to ease whatever financial worries we can as we are dealing with so much emotionally. Please help keep the lights on!

To give some insight on Justin’s Cancer journey since diagnosis, a small timeline is below. He has undergone countless dr. appointments - including full brain & spine radiation, scans, MRI’s, biopsies, treatments, infusions, surgeries and hospitalization.

Justin has been hospitalized several times over the past few months for multiple pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) from calf to thigh, and extreme intracranial pressure undergoing several lumbar punctures.

Justin has a Fierce will to live and has defied all odds along this journey. Currently Justin is doing better than expected, but now requires 24 HR care leaving his wife Lori unable to work as she is providing 100% of his care along with Hospice.

If you know this family, you know Justin is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, and he’d do anything for family and friends. If you can find it in your heart to return the favor, please donate, if you are unable – then please share this page. Please give generously and know that any amount will be greatly appreciated! We have high goals for this fund and an account is also established at PRODUCE STATE BANK, locations in Hollandale, Albert lea & Glenville, MN.

If you feel moved to do so, please PRAY for this family!

The Kohn family feels and appreciates all the love and prayers they are receiving!

Thank you so much. Let’s share the heck out of this and lift the Kohn Family up with community support to ease as much of the financial burden as we can during this difficult time.

With A Heartfelt Thank You,
