Posted12/21/2020 5:30 AM Today's recipient of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Joanne Corcoran of Elgin. Corcoran wants to give the money to a woman she knows. Here is an excerpt of her story:
"(She) has had to oversee her sister, who has a form of early onset dementia and doesn't know her anymore. She has had to take over (her sister's) bills, move her to a memory care facility and oversee her medical care. (She) works two jobs and has had to cover several bills incurred by her sister along with making heart-wrenching medical decisions."
