SPARTANBURG, S.C. – 2016 is nearly over, but with four days left there is still time for it to claim the life of yet another celebrity.
This is why one man is asking for donations to keep legendary actress Betty White safe until the New Year.
Betty White was featured on the Late Late Show with James Corden on January 12, 2016 just before her 94th birthday.
Demetrios Hrysikos of Spartanburg South Carolina set up the account on Tuesday.
“Help 2016 catch these hands if it goes anywhere near Betty White! If she’s okay with it I will fly to where ever Betty White is and keep her safe till Jan. 1, 2017,” Hrysikos wrote on the GoFundMe page.
If Betty doesn’t want his protection, Demetrios wrote that he will donate any money raised to the Spartanburg Little Theater, a youth theater company in order to mold “new stars of stage and screen to carry mantle of the legends that have left is this year.”
The goal was to raise $2,000 and so far they have raised over $5500.
Fans of everyone’s favorite Golden Girl have taken to Twitter in recent days, expressing concern for the 94-year-old’s well-being.
