An Opportunity to Give…

Football player flown to hospital after accident on field

On Tuesday of last week (August 19) a young man barely 15-years-old sustained critical injuries on the practice field while playing the game he loved, football. Milton Johnson, a sophomore this

Milton Johnson 
year at Baker County High School in Glen Saint Mary, has suffered an event that will forever change his life and the lives of his family, a family that ultimately will be left to care for him and the many obstacles he will surely incur.

I would like to challenge the readers of North Florida News Daily to band together as one and do something that might help offset some of the unknown burdens associated with the short and long term care of this young man. First of all I would solicit your prayers for Milton’s miraculous recovery, the Johnson family, and the healing of Milton’s fellow team mates, coaches, and community.

I would also like each of us to dig deep and give. The Johnson family is going to be faced with a multitude of costs that they have not even begun to fathom. I am asking you our readers to make a difference. Let’s act now and truly experience the gift of giving by doing just that.

An account for Milton Johnson has been set up with VyStar Credit Union. That account is the Milton Johnson fund No. 0702742751. Please make this a priority this week and act. If you are a member of a civic organization, church, or corporate citizen, please ask yourself how much you can give to this cause then double it and make the call.

VyStar Credit Union branches are located all over our six county region of coverage. If you are one of our readers from outside of the state of Florida or even one of our many foreign readers from outside the U.S., please be a part of this great gift of giving and make your contribution this week.

VyStar Credit Union can be reached by phone in Jacksonville, Florida area at: 904-777-6000 and toll free in the U.S. at: 800-445-6289. The VyStar Credit Union web address is: www.vystarcu.org
