WIL, an active little boy, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his left femur just days before his 5th birthday. In October 2008, Wil underwent surgery to remove the tumor, amputate and reconstruct his leg. Intensive rehabilitation and future prosthetics changes will follow as Wil grows. Wil has received chemotherapy and at present, is cancer free. The Paul Jackson Fund assisted Wil's family with medical and household expenses.

At the age of three, VICTOR came down with a high fever which led to a seizure. Victor was taken to the hospital where his family was told that their son may not make it. Though left with some brain damage and limited motor skills, Victor, now 11, attends a special school. In order to get Victor out of the house, Victor's family members would either carry him or lay him on an old door and slide him carefully down the stairs. The Paul Jackson Fund made it possible to have a vertical lift installed outside Victor's home and to purchase a Hoyer lift to get Victor out of bed safely.
