Summary

Betty A. Barna of the DeSoto Ellsworth Black Association described World Medical Relief’s refurbished equipment and a $8-per-prescription program and said her group is fundraising for park landscaping.

Betty A. Barna, president of the DeSoto Ellsworth Black Association, used her public-comment time to tell the council and audience about World Medical Relief, a program that sells refurbished medical equipment and offers prescriptions for $8 when available.

Barna said she personally obtained a transport chair through the program and described it as appearing "brand new." She gave the organization’s phone number ((313) 866-5333) and said her association is still raising funds for landscaping boulders at a community park and planning an event next month.

Her comments were presented as community outreach and resource information rather than a request for formal council action.
