- Charity night for crash boy 'a shambles'
A charity evening in aid of a former Codsall boy who was
horribly injured in a car crash raised barely £40
after only 20 people turned up.
The disco and auction at Wolverhampton's Connaught Hotel
last night was described as "a shambles" by
the boy's grandmother, Mrs Rita Nicholson, today. Mrs
Nicholson, of Wilkes Road, Codsall, hoped to raise hundreds
of pounds for equipment desperately needed by her 11 year-old
grandson, James Fallon.
He had a seven-hour operation after the road smash in
South Africa last September. James, formerly of Wilkes
Road, Codsall, is now back at home with his parents near
Johannesberg, but they have been told he will never recover
from his paralysis.
His grandparents aim to buy him a computer he can work
with his eyes so he can start to communicate with those
around him again. Mrs Nicholson said: "I don't know
why people didn't turn up last night but it was disappointing.
"The hotel has offered to let us have the room again
sometime in the autumn and we will be trying to organise
another, more successful, event." |
