We are raising money because Bess Deering is dear to us, and we want to show our love and support during this difficult time. Bess has always given so much to others with compassion, strength, and grace—and now it’s our turn to give back. Whether through a donation, a kind word, or simply sharing her story, every act of support helps lift her up and reminds her that she is not alone. This effort is a small way for us to stand beside someone who has meant so much to our lives and our community.
