Chris is a 10-year-old boy who is currently paralyzed from the waist down after being hit by a stray bullet while attending a piano lesson on January 10th, 2008. Chris and his family face a difficult road ahead, and will need all the support and donations you can give. This blog is dedicated to keeping the public informed about how to help.

Update on Chris
From Chris's mother Jennifer: "Chris is out of the ICU and getting stronger. Yeah, we can decorate his room! He has much less pain. This is a milestone for us. He is resting with family and close friends in a healing space and started physical therapy when he was still in the ICU. We are under doctor's orders to keep the company down and we oblige."
