Family friend Courtney Brayton also created the website, BlessKevin.com, where members of the community can donate money or sign up to bring meals to the family. Monetary donations are being accepted through YouCaring.com (here). They are currently $3,550 away from their $10,000 goal.

“It’s been fun to see how the community has come around Kevin and his family,” Brayton said. She commented that even people who don’t know Korenthal have stepped up to help.

For more information on how to get involved contact Brayton at 661-244-7576 or cbrayton@planetsnetwork.com.
