It would have been a roller coaster ride of emotions for Jaye Marie Green in the past few days. The golfer was able to become a parent not too long ago, as she gave birth to a “beautiful baby girl.” However, the good news was followed by something absolutely unfortunate, as the LPGA pro learned about the devastating news of her parents’ house suffering a major accident.
A post was uploaded on the social media platform X by golf writer, Beth Ann Nichols, in which she mentioned how the athlete’s parents Donnie and Stephanie suffered a terrible house fire. This “devastating” incident happened in the days leading to the pregnancy and has left their abode “completely uninhabitable and beyond repair.”
Adding to the tweet, under the same, was a link for a GoFundMe to raise money, amounting to a total of $50,000, for the golfer’s family in the Boca Raton Community. Deborah Munoz, the person organizing the fundraiser, urged the people to extend their hands to the Green Family, who would do the same for others in case of an unfortunate situation.
