A Christmas Gift for Betty

When anyone who knows her hears the name "Betty Green," they immediately smile and comment about her spunk, her wit, and her unique way of looking at the world. Life and conversation are never dull when Betty walks into the room!

In February 2018, Betty unexpectedly suffered a stroke. The road to recovery has been long, and Betty has put in a lot of sweat, tears, and heart into the rehabilitation process. We have all been touched by her indefatigable spirit in the face of physical, emotional, and financial adversity. 

Betty spoke to me (Margaret) a lot about wanting to provide some ease in times of hardship. She gave me a strong shoulder to lean on when I needed it most. Now the time has come to repay that kindness. 

So many good folks from Diversified and other places have inquired about how they might be able to provide some help. Betty touched so many of us, and so many who have inquired are not here in Jacksonville to participate in meal trains or the fundraising activities we are having on-campus. In the spirit of providing Betty and Gary some financial ease, we invite you to participate in this online event, "A Christmas Gift for Betty." No amount is too big or too small!

Donations will go towards ongoing medical expenses and upkeep. Gary is working part-time so that he can help Betty as she needs it, and Betty is no longer with the claim department at DCIS. Your gift will ensure that this holiday season is one of joy and ease for the Green family.
