Local association highlights World Medical Relief discounts and plans fundraiser
Summary
At public comment, Betty A. Barna, president of the DeSoto Ellsworth Black Association, described World Medical Relief's refurbished medical equipment and $8 prescription program and said her group is planning a park fundraiser next month and needs landscaping boulders.
During public comment at a Detroit City Council committee meeting, Betty A. Barna, who identified herself as president of the DeSoto Ellsworth Black Association, described the services of World Medical Relief and promoted an upcoming community event.
Barna said World Medical Relief offers refurbished mobility equipment such as wheelchairs and transport chairs and that "all of their prescriptions are $8," regardless of medication when available; she supplied a phone number in the session: (313) 866-5333. Barna said her organization is organizing a fundraiser tied to a neighborhood park and requested landscaping boulders to prepare for the event.
Her remarks were delivered as public comment and served as a community-resource notification rather than a formal request to the council; the transcript contains no record of council direction or follow-up action on the fundraiser materials request.
