GoFundMe: Southampton Resident Raising Money For Son's Medical Safety Bed

Southampton resident Sharon Conti started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her son, James, who needs a medical safety bed.

As of Tuesday, the campaign has raised $6,654 out of the $15,000 goal. The GoFundMe page was created in September.

From GoFundMe:

My son James was born at 25 weeks (that’s 6 months). During delivery he got a grade 4 head bleed that never resolved which in turn gave him hydrocephalus which is very dangerous. Additionally, he suffers from seizures. Specifically, Lennox Gastault Syndrome, which again is dangerous. Lastly, he is severely delayed across the board and has cerebral palsy (he does not walk or talk). We were denied by our insurance company for a special safety bed for him and I am desperately trying to raise money to be able to get this bed he needs. He is now 3 years old and is rapidly out growing his crib and once the crib goes, I have no safe place for him to sleep in. Any amount that is donated would greatly help my chances in getting the safety bed he needs.
