Loyal, dedicated, supportive, generous, friendly; these words describe Rich. As Jamie says, Rich is the rock of their family. He is there to support Jamie, Riley, Eric, and Austin and loves them beyond measure. If you know Rich, odds are that he has helped or encouraged you at one time or another without expecting anything in return. Rich always puts the needs of others first. In a blink of an eye he is there to give his time, lend a helping hand, guide you, or simply there to listen. Now is our chance to return the favor. 


As many of you know, Rich was hospitalized at the end of the school year for a possible stroke.  He spent some time at Barberton Hospital then was released on June 16th with a diagnosis of MS.  Unfortunately, his symptoms worsened and ended up being admitted to Akron General on June 19th.  Akron General ran numerous tests and determined that the cause of his symptoms was actually a brain infection.  He was treated for the brain infection and was recently moved to Edwin Shaw for rehab to regain strength on his left side. 

 

This money will be used to help pay the bills that are already pouring in, as well as other necessities for the family. If you are able to help monetarily that is wonderful.We understand that some people aren’t in the position to do so. Prayers for strength, patience, and courage are appreciated too!

 

As a third grade team, we want to support Rich and his family as much as we can. So many people have reached out already to see how they can help. The Booth family is so very grateful, and feels blessed to be surrounded by such amazing communities! Thank you for considering helping this wonderful family as Rich works towards his recovery.
