Most of us are ready for 2016 to get kick rocks; like immediately! As if the election of Donald Trump didn’t make the majority of us miserable, 2016 has taken out some of our most beloved and talented celebrities. Prince, David Bowie, and even within the past few days Carrie Fisher, George Michael and Ricky Harris have all left us in 2016. Right now, this year is leaving us just a little bit nervous, even with only a few days left, the internet doesn’t want to see any more bad news – especially no more deaths, and we are all just trying at this point to get out of 2016 alive!

Of course someone from South Carolina feels the same anxiety; so much so that he has started a Go Fund Me in order to save the actress Betty White from the Grim Reaper, 2016. Straight out of Spartanburg, S.C., a guy by the name of Demetrios Hrysikos is doing what he can to protect everyone’s favorite Golden Girl. The name of the campaign is “Help Protect Betty White from 2016” and his goal for the campaign was $2,000. At 11:00 am after just being up a little over 18 hours, the campaign has already earned over $2300!

Hrysikos stated in his Go Fund Me Summary the following:

“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 January 1, 2017. Now, assuming she doesn’t want a strange Greek standing guard outside her door all monies will be donated to the Spartanburg Little Theater to help craft new starts of stage and screen to carry the mantle of the legends that have left us this year.”

At least if Betty White decides not to take Hrysikos up on his offer, the money will still be used for a good cause. Even though there are some folks on social media that refuse to find any humor in Hrysikos’ fundraiser, the Spartanburg native has received a great response with fans of Betty White who are also in agreement that 2016 ‘can get these hands’ if it touches Betty White.

In an update Demetrios Hrysikos added, “`2016 has taken so many great artists and SLT helps support and nurture new budding talent in our town. I’d like to think that Betty, Carrie and Bowie would be happy with any proceeds going to that cause, which I assure you it WILL!”
