WHO WE ARE
The Betsy Foundation grew as a small seed through the grief and sadness of losing Betsy, a deeply loved daughter and sister. As a family we have experienced our fair share of grief and loss, and have come through it with the support and love of those around us.
We are, however, deeply aware of the wealth of relationship that surrounds us, and all too often the number of people who have far more to deal with and with far less to prop them up. The Betsy Foundation will support those who require a little extra in their hours of need.
