Support for Bill Kothe’s Fight against Cancer

To all family members, friends, and anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing Bill & Tami Kothe. I have created this account to provide some relief from the financial burden that Bill and Tami have incurred during Bill’s fight with cancer.

In early 2020, Bill was laid off from his job with Bronco Oilfield Services due to the pandemic. For the last two years, he has struggled to find gainful employment to help support his family. In the fall of 2022, he accepted a job with his old company, Bronco Oilfield Services, in Elk City, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, within days of starting his new job, he was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. He has undergone surgery to remove his tumor filled tongue, as well as an intensive schedule of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

In addition to dealing with a life threatening disease, Bill is trying to pay for his treatment and support his family. He continued to work during both his radiation and chemotherapy until he was hospitalized due to radiation burns, dehydration, and severe pain. As we all know, cancer treatments and hospitalizations are expensive, and insurance never covers the entire cost. Bill’s cancer has exposed his family to thousands of dollars of medical debt and has severely impacted his family’s financial future.

If you can afford to donate, any amount would mean the world Tami and Bill.
