article Oscar was born in June 2003 without hands or feet. It was not diagnosed before birth, and so was a tremendous shock for us. He has a very rare disorder , but he copes very well. Due to the nature of his disability he needs many aids to help him lead a normal life, such as prosthetic legs.
We are fundraising to secure Oscar's future, this may mean adapted computers, adaptions around the home, prosthetics or a worry free financial future. Many people have given graciously already and we thank everyone for their generosity - every little helps a lot.

On Friday 2nd November a sporting evening was held to raise money towards Oscar’s fund. This event was a huge success as it raised over £10,000 on the sporting auction alone. Added to this figure was £3,000 for the stand up bingo and raffle, so over £13,000 was raised and a wonderful evening was had by all. Joining us on that evening were Steve Bull from Wolverhampton Wanderers and
Bob Taylor from West Bromwich Albion. Master of ceremonies was Lord Digby Jones who’s personal contribution of 2 separate visits to the House of Lords raised £1400 . The comedian for the evening was Mal Rich who helped make the evening go with a swing. Highlights of the evening included the signed framed Liverpool shirt going for £1,200, 2 Albion shirts raising over £1,000 and 2 Wolves shirt raising £850. A limited edition piece of modern art raising £400 and the Formula One packages raising £975. Singer Beth Dunn was asked to sing if someone paid £250, which she duly and spontaneously did for Oscar. In all 25 items were sold to a great audience of Oscar’s Friends. Thank you to everyone who provided auction items or raffle prizes, to those who helped on the evening and those who bid (be they successful or not). Special thanks must also go to
Chris and
Jane Dunn who organised the evening, their tireless continued effort has now helped raise almost £30,000 for Oscar. We will be forever in your debt. The total on this evening has actually realised the target set for £100,000 in just one year. Once again, thank you to all Oscar’s Friends.

news Rare early versions of hit songs by Stourbridge rock heroes The Wonder Stuff are to be auctioned off to raise cash for the Oscar Fradgley appeal.
Frontman Miles Hunt used to play in a band with Oscar’s father Chris before shooting to fame in the late 1980s.
Hunt performed at a tribute gig to the four-year-old earlier this year and promised to do all he could to help.
Now the rare items, some of which are one of a kind, will be auctioned on the band’s website www.room512.com from Monday.
All cash raised will go directly to the appeal for the Kingswinford youngster born without hands or feet, which currently stands at £80,000.

news Thank you to everyone who came to my birthday party.
A big white limo came to pick me up (thanks to our friends at Class Act Limo's), we all went to Chilly Kiddies, and I had a great time.
Later on, mom, dad, and lots of their friends carried on the celebrations for me (I was in bed, but I did go and see daddies friends rehearsing in the afternoon, they were very, very loud!!!)

article Oscar’s newsletter - Easter 2007
Hello again everyone, another holiday! And this one has got chocolate. My cousin Alfie and I had an Easter egg hunt in the garden, we had to find 4 small chocolate eggs each and some chicks, and the winner got a big egg. I won the egg but Alfie got one too. Just before Easter lots of things happened, in the middle of March I had an operation on my hand to try and make it a bit better, it’s still bandaged up, and mom puts a sock on it to keep the bandage clean! Then my little brother Max was one year old and we had a little party for him with balloons, I helped him open his presents. Just after that we had a proms night for me, dad says that everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the singing and were very generous with my fundraising. I wish I had been there but it was passed my bed time, I sent a video of me though so everyone could see what a big boy I’m getting.
