DECADES OF INSPIRING STORIES
CRYSTAL GARCIA-BETTS
RETIRED ELKHART PD
"I was born in a family of 12 brothers and sisters. My brothers were involved with a club called Lifeline that let kids have fun, take trips and learn about God. But it was only for boys. So I begged Irv to start a club for girls. In 1978 Irv’s wife Sandy started the first girls club. From there I learned so much about life, character, morals and how much God cares about me. I started to believe in myself and I knew I could accomplish greater things. On September 12th of this year, I celebrated 20 years with the Elkhart Police Department as a patrolman and detective. I have tremendous respect for Lifeline and know it was a stepping stone in my life.
UNIQUE STORIES
My name is Todriyana and I’m 17 years old and a Senior at Elkhart Central High School. I have been attending Lifeline since I was in 7th grade and what an adventure it has been.
Growing up, my mom and dad always told me that no matter what happens in life, they were always going to be there for me and my siblings. When I was in second grade, my dad walked out on us. I instantly felt like that promise was broken as I didn’t have my dad to count on when I needed him most in my life...
