CHICAGO (WLS) — A Cook County official is set to be welcomed home in Chicago on Sunday after a life-threatening ordeal in Jamaica.
Trinette Britt-Johnson, chief of staff to Rich Township Supervisor Calvin Jordan, spent days without her kidney transplant medication while Hurricane Melissa shut down airports. The hurricane made it impossible for her to receive the crucial medication she needed.
Cook County Commissioner Kisha McCaskill led a team to ensure Britt-Johnson’s medication was delivered and that she could return home safely.
On Sunday, Britt-Johnson will publicly thank the officials, medical teams, and community members who came together to help save her life.
