S.C. Thief Targets Cancer Donations

2006-03-30 A thief threw a brick through glass at a convenience
store and headed straight for a donation jar to help the family of a cancer patient, according to a security video.

Lewis Boniface, the store manager at The QuickWay, said the jar is
emptied weekly and probably only had about $10 in it when it was taken Monday
night.

"It takes a pretty sorry person to do something that low," Boniface
said. "Somebody in need was crying out to the community for help and someone came in and stole from them."The donations help former Greenwood resident Christine "Chris" Lawson Oden, 32, now of White House, Tenn.

The mother of two has leukemia and underwent a bone marrow transplant earlier this year. She is expected to be released from the hospital next month, but owes more than $500,000 in medical bills.

Greenwood police are investigating the theft.

I found the story on the Find News Fast website. I used to be a newsman at one of the radio stations in Greenwood. That was some nine or ten years ago.
