A Beautiful Boy
This post won’t be lengthy…As a result of learning about beautiful boy in the above photo, I have been thinking rather than writing–contemplating life, the afterlife, time, and the precious gifts we all are so very lucky to have here and now.
This little boy was James Bulger, and he died almost 20 years ago. He was only 2. His death was not accidental, and the story enraged the local community. Photos and videos of James have touched the hearts of people all over England (his home) and the world. This precious little boy is being officially commemorated through a project:
Here is information about the project and the precious little boy: http://www.justgiving.com/jamesbulger
The project will help save the lives of children whose lives are at risk through a school in England as a safe haven for children who are bullied–specifically those children who are harrassed to the point of serious physical (and psychological) danger. In this shelter, the youths can continue to learn in a supportive and safe environment until they are ready to transfer to mainstream schools again. Classes are set to begin this spring. The project is run on donations.
Please visit this website and see if you feel this is a cause you would like to support. I visited and used PayPal to make a donation. It was very easy.
PS. All donations are in pounds, so if you enter the number “20,” that means 20 pounds, which equals roughly 40 dollars! If you want to donate $10 dollars, enter “5″ into the blank. And so on.

This reminds me of the Ronald Macdonald house but different. – here in Seattle the Ronald Macdonald house is for our of town parents who have a child in Children’s Orthopedic Hospital. That is a very worthy cause as this one sounds.
Good work!
That’s a very touching cause, Holly. Thanks for posting about it. How’re things with you and the family?
Hi Noemi!
Thank you for stopping by and reading.
We’re okay. How are you guys? I’m still mezmerized by your travel pics to those islands with the little strips of islands and the one that you called “the most beautiful spot on earth.”
Also, just thinking about your blog makes me hungry! Need to go get a snack now:)
Very touching.
