We're getting quite a response to a story we did Tuesday about a man battling cancer who had his donation money stolen.

We've received calls all day from people wanting to help the Riddell family in Estill County.

Jerry Riddell is dying of brain cancer, and several family members were collecting money at local stores to help pay for his final expenses, but someone stole $600 and the jar from one of the stores.

If you would like to help the Riddells, you can send money to a fund set up in Irvine.

I know what you mean we recently had a jar out for our son who is battling brain cancer and it was stollen right off the counter at a convenient store. They will have to answer to God for their actions. It is horible that someone would do something like this. probably some drug addict that needed his/her drugs. They will do anything to get it.
