James in the News
Our Goal
James was born with Neurofibromatosis. As a child he had surgery pretty much every year to keep up with the growths on his face. His dad would take the family on a summer vacation after his surgeries so he could recover and have fun. When he turned 18 he didn't have any more insurance to cover more surgeries. The tumors have stopped growing now and he would love to have the last procedures done. Several years ago he was told that his insurance company wouldn't cover it because he was born with the condition, so we are working toward a goal of $50,000 to cover the cost of treatment and recovery. We really won't know how much money is needed until he is thoroughly evaluated, but James is very excited that we have taken this project on, but I know he's a little leery of it actually happening. I am committed to doing everything I can to get him into the recovery room.

Hi my name is Nicolette and I work at the Safeway in Lodi, California. I was watching CNN News and watched James story. He is a true inspiration for me and I would love to jump in and help out. I do most of the donation organizing at my store and will start a drive to help raise money for James' surgery. "Thank you James for being so strong...I needed to see that!!!" "You are a true inspiration....Good luck to you!!"
I found out about this story at the Bellingham Herald this morning, and this is very inspirational, and has made my day.
