ORLANDO, Fla. – John and Kay Custis have transformed the economic downturn of COVID-19 into a network of generosity that they have now contributed to for a second time.
The retired Orlando couple donated their $2,400 stimulus check to a mother of four a few weeks ago and on Tuesday decided to help someone else with a check for $2,000. “We’ve seen this community come together many times to help each other out,” John Custis said. “That’s what it’s all about.” [MAKE ENDS MEET: News 6 debuts initiative to provide budget guidance for viewers] The former U.S.
