Our first son Oscar Jameson died from an umbilical cord accident the night before he was born, September 23, 2007.

To celebrate the profound affect his short life had on ours, the Oscar Skinner Memorial Fund was set up.

In its first year last year, Jim and I were able to buy clothes, shoes, and a few toys for two little boys in need at Christmas, Isaiah and Joseph. Their families were thrilled, and otherwise wouldn't have been able to get the boys anything.

It was such a rewarding experience for us to meet them, and share our story - and somehow make a small difference. In the years to come, we hope to expand our efforts, helping more and more children at Christmas, in the name of Oscar.
