Family of missing Rockford man raising money for reward

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - Patrick Reum, 28 of Rockford, has been missing since Dec. 12.

A GoFundMe has been started in order to raise money that will be added to an already established reward for finding Reum. The money is going into a savings account for the sole purpose of finding Patrick, according to the GoFundMe organizer, Kethryn Reum.

“We are trying to raise money to add to a reward that we already have and to use in any way to help hire an outside source in search for my son. Help us to bring him home. We won’t give up till he’s found,” the GoFundMe said.

Kathryn said the family is looking into getting a billboard. At this time, $535 of the $5,000 goal has been raised.

“We will update more as soon as we have decided what our next step is. Again, thank you from the Reum Family,” according to Kathryn.
