Steve Woodall the  granddad of tragic tumble dryer tot Georgina Bywater hopes to turn his heartache into hope this year by lighting up his home in aid of young Oscar Fradgley.

The big-hearted 48-year-old of Hawbush Road has been decking his home and garden with thousands of festive fairy lights for the last few years to help give good causes a boost, but after the death of his beloved grand-daughter Genie - the house was left in darkness.

Steve's dazzling spectacle returned last year though - in memory of the three-year-old - who died after trapping herself in a tumble dryer just over two years ago.

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.

FUNDRAISING events are still being organised to raise money for Kingswinford youngster Oscar Fradgley to help him lead as normal life as possible.

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!!!)

THE campaign to raise cash for a disabled Kingswinford boy is getting a boost from chart topping rockers.

Tim said: "We wanted to help and raise as money as possible.

A CONCERT in aid of a Kingswinford tot born without hands or feet has raised over £15,000.

Nearly 500 people packed out the Stourbridge Town Hall for Oscar's Proms', in aid of three year-old Oscar Fradgley, who suffers from the rare disorder Hanahart Syndrome.

The evening included a performance of the Les Miserables song On My Own' by London School of Musical Theatre student Beth Dunn.

Due to ill health, Radio 2 DJ Don MacLean MBE was forced to step down as Master of Ceremonies, leaving concert organiser Chris Dunn to step into his shoes at the last minute.

Oscar's parents, Chris and Lisa Fradgley, have launched a campaign to raise £100,000 to pay for lightweight carbon fibre prosthetic legs, so Oscar can lead as active a life as possible.

A fundraising concert in aid of a Black Country youngster born without hands or feet has now raised more than £15,000, delighted organisers have revealed.

The event was in aid of three-year-old Oscar Fradgley, of Kingswinford, and more than 400 people packed out Stourbridge Town Hall for the show last Saturday.

Organisers had originally hoped to raise £10,000 towards the fundraising effort to help care for the youngster but were left amazed after they topped that figure before the show even took place.

A Cradley Heath film screening has helped raise money for a three-year-old boy who suffers from a rare disorder.

Cradley Then and Now hosted a viewing of the community film A story of Cradley Heath' at its March meeting, after which they saw a short slide show featuring an appeal for funds for Oscar Fradgley of Kingswinford.

Harry Bloomer, who helped produce the film, described some of the difficulties faced by suffers of Hanahart Syndrome, which for Oscar means he has no hands or feet, a shortened tongue, facial palsy, eyesight problems and a heart condition.

The group also held a raffle which raised £60 for Oscar.
