Hankinson man supports others, now needs support

A man known to support residents in need may require the same kind of help. Hankinson resident Reno Brandt, 40, has been suffering from diabetes since he was 10 years old. As a result, he's developed severe nerve disorders in his spinal cord, legs, feet and hands. He received a pancreas transplant in Minneapolis one month ago, leading to high medical bills that will hopefully be offset by an upcoming benefit, said Jessica Levery, a friend of Brandt's.
