Standing Beside Beth.
Every Day. All Year Long.
For more than two decades, Beth Crutcher Giacone has faced ALS with extraordinary courage, grace, and unwavering faith. Although the disease has taken her physical abilities, it has never diminished her warmth, her tenderness, or the light she brings to others.
Today, Beth requires 24-hour care to remain safely in the home she loves, surrounded by her family.
The annual cost of that care is approximately $85,000—a burden no family should carry alone.

“Every member of Beth’s Brigade becomes part of a circle of love that surrounds Beth each and every day.”
Understanding the $85,000 Annual Gap
Standard health insurance and Medicare often cover only limited equipment, leaving around-the-clock personal caregiving entirely to out-of-pocket family funds. At 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, professional care costs add up quickly.
When 150 community members contribute $50/month, Beth's entire annual shortfall is covered, ensuring zero gaps in caregiving shifts.
To Our Christmas Angels
⤙Because of the incredible generosity of those who participated in our 12 Days of Giving Christmas campaign, Beth began this year surrounded by hope and supported by an extraordinary community of compassionate people. Your prayers, generosity, and love have made a meaningful difference in Beth's life, and our family will always be grateful.
As we move beyond the Christmas season, we invite you to continue this journey with us by remaining part of Beth's Brigade through year-round monthly giving. If you are new to Beth's story, we warmly welcome you to join this growing community.
To every person who has given, prayed, shared Beth's story, or encouraged our family—thank you. You are truly part of Beth's Brigade, and your kindness is a living reminder that hope is strongest when we stand together.
