Guy Successfully Crowdfunds Mission to Protect Betty White From 2016

A man has successfully crowdfunded his mission to keep Betty White alive at least until the end of 2016. Uproxx reports South Carolina resident Demetrios Hrysikos, afraid that the brutal year for celebrities would claim yet another victim, set up a GoFundMe to protect the actress from now until 2017. In his campaign, Hrysikos vowed to fly to wherever White goes and make sure she's alright. Hrysikos acknowledged that the former Golden Girls star may not want some random dude trailing her for days and has an alternative plan for the money he raised...

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 stars of stage and screen to carry mantle of the legends that have left is this year.

Whether the whole thing was real or just a stunt to get trending to help his local theater, it worked! Hrysikos met his goal of $2,000 in under a day, and that number is steadily growing as the day goes on! Let's hope it's enough to keep Betty chugging along into 2017!
