FRENCHTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- A donation box raising money for a sick child was stolen from a party store in Monroe County on Thursday, police said.

Monroe County Sheriff's deputies said the donation can was stolen from Kenny's Market in Frenchtown Township, off Telegraph Road north of Grafton Road.

Police said surveillance footage from inside the store shows a white woman taking the donation can and hiding it under her coat and walking out.

A white male appears to have also been involved, police said.

The donation can was intended to help a young boy get medical attention at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

Tommy Brancheau, 13, is suffering from a lung disease and his nerves and muscles are deteriorating, according to his family.

They have been collecting money for about three weeks for his medical expenses, which total $100,000. The deadline for collecting the money is the end of May.

"I hope they never have to look at their child at night and hear the words, 'Mommy, do we have enough money to get me better yet?'" said mother Tanya Brancheau.

Police described the thieves as a white woman with long blond hair, wearing a black coat with a hood. The man had blond or light brown hair wearing a red coat with a hood.

Anyone with information can call Detective Jeff Pauli at 734-240-7745.

Anyone who wants to help pay Tommy's medical bills can send a donation to the Monroe Bank and Trust at 102 East Front Street in Monroe, Michigan 48161.
