After suffering a traumatic brain injury, Clermont resident Phyllis Johnston wants to write a book about her experience. She also plans to open up a thrift store for foster care/CASAs.
After hearing the heartfelt stories from children’s advocates at Christmas, a Hall County woman said she is trying to keep the donations going year-round. Phyllis Johnston, who runs Trader Jacks Marketplace on Cleveland Highway with husband Sid, said she hopes to dedicate space and proceeds of the thrift store for Hall-Dawson CASA, the court-appointed special advocates. “My heart just goes out to those people and those kids,” Johnston said.
