Who desperately needs your help.

His name is James Culver, he is 7 years old and he is currently in Children's Hospital in Washington, DC.

Hi, All! I am a friend of a friend of the family and I am passing the word around about this little boy. There is a Fund Raiser for him this coming Saturday the 22nd at the American Legion Post 274 in Lusby, Md. There will be a live band (Tin Pan Alley), Silent Auction, Bake Sale and more.

A little about James: He contracted the Group A Strep Bacteria in his bloodstream and developed toxic shock syndrome. James was on total life support and his doctors and family feared the worse for this little guy. Since James' blood was busy going to his his major organs to help him survive, his appendages were left without blood circulation causing terrible damage.

At this time James is off life support but has had to have half of his right leg, his left foot and ankle and half of his right arm amputated. More surgery is possible.

It is unsure how long James will be in Children's Hospital for we are told this process of helping and healing will be a long one. After his release from Children's Hospital, James will face more therapy. He has quite a road a head of him.

James is a very sweet and loving 7 year old boy that could use your help and your prayers. James and his twin sister live with their mom, Cathy Speciale Culver in Calvert County and attends Patuxent Elementary School. Cathy is currently spending most of her time with James at the hospital. Due to the extreme amount of time Cathy is devoting to James, she is unable to work. James also has a devoted father Richard who is doing his part to help but unfortuanetly, the hospital bills are adding up.

If you can find it in your heart to help this special little boy and his family out we would greatly appreicate any and all help you or your employer could give to help with this benefit.

WE HOPE YOU ALL TURN OUT TO HELP WITH THIS WORTHY CAUSE.

Items for Auction, Food donations and Bake Sale items will be accepted for fundraiser.

Thanks! :flowers:

How sad. The boy and his family will be in my prayers.

My friend has been trying to get me to go and listen to this band. Can't think of a better time or worthier cause.

its definately a good cause, I have know the mother for years, and the Grand Father for even longer. Its really sad that most of this could have been avoided with a simple blood test during the early days of the ailment, but from what i hear it was misdiagnosed as the flu....

See ya all there

That's what I heard also, except that the ER doctor was too arrogant to take the family doctor's advice and do the test.

But now it is all about the kid. We'll be out of town, so we'll have to donate separately.

Did not realize how soon it was coming up. Thank you for the reminder. I was planning to go when they were in the beginning stages of planning this.

Patuxent did the longest greeting card for him.. I thought that was awesome... I think it hit Ms. Brooks class the hardest, being that was his class.

I will definitely be there...

I know Cathy and her family very well and am so sorry to hear this. :frown: I won't be able to make the fundraiser but a donation for sure is coming their way. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this very difficult time. :huggy:

Great picture. My daughter is right in the middle, with the big toothless grin.
