FUNDRAISING events are still being organised to raise money for Kingswinford youngster Oscar Fradgley to help him lead as normal life as possible.
The four-year-old from Cot Lane was born without hands or feet, a short tongue, he also has heart disease, facial palsy and eye problems.
But his devoted parents Lisa and Chris set up a trust fund to raise £100,000 to help buy the youngster artificial limbs, which cost between £5,000 and £10,000 and need replacing every nine months.
Dad Chris said: "Oscar recently received his new set of legs from Dorset orthopaedic by post.
"We want him to have a normal life as possible, we want to do all we can for him."
The family have been blown away with the support for Oscar and so far have raised £80,000 towards his future since setting up the appeal in November last year.
Chris added: "We are just astounded by people and how they are for Oscar."
An online auction has also been set up with rare items by Stourbridge band The Wonder Stuff available such as Give Give Give Me More More More, Don't Let Me Down and artwork of Miles Hunt.
People wishing to make a bid need to join as members to the website www.room512.com Also a Bavarian Night has been arranged on Saturday September 29 at The Glynne School, Cot Lane, Kingswinford, starting at 8pm.
Tickets, which include a fish and chip supper, cost £10 each.
