Benefit planned for Suckstorff

Talk about it

A benefit dinner and fundraiser will be held for Bonnie (Wildman) Suckstorff on Monday, December 7 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Glenwood Lutheran Church.

The event will feature an A&W chicken dinner (take out available), live music by Velvet Brass, a bake sale and silent auction.

Donations may also be made payable to Bonnie Suckstorff Benefit and mailed to Glenwood State Bank, 5 E Minnesota Avenue, Glenwood, MN 56334.

Suckstorff underwent surgery in July 2009 to repair scar tissue and a hole in her esophagus. It was found that she had numerous holes in her throat and a large portion of her esophagus was removed, leaving her stomach now sitting behind her heart.

She is on feeding and drainage tubes, recovering at home. Doctors are unsure of when she will be able to return to work. The extended recovery has put a financial strain on her family, including husband, Ron, and children, Danny and Lisa.
