How to Contribute
James O'Neal
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 James. I sent a donation through KOMO News, and when I told my wife, she chided me for not sending more. Well, I knew the kind folks out there would rally around a worthy cause, and they are. Not only are you an inspiration to all of us, your cause defines how people should act and think about what is important in our everyday lives, to stop thinking about our petty problems and concentrate on others for a change. Our prayers and best wishes are with you now and in the future and we will continue to follow your progress.
Hi James. I can say only two things. Reading your story and witnessing you courage and poise brought tears to my eyes.
And....the world needs more like you. God speed and thank you. Best wishes.
