Garage sale fundraiser in support of Ramey White and family
A garage sale at the Boulder Creek Flea Market at Junction Park on May 9 will help raise money for the family of Ramey White.
White was stricken with Guillain-Barre Syndrome — or GBS, an autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system — during a family trip to Lake Tahoe in January. The disease left him paralyzed and unable to care for his fiancé, 6-year-old son and seven-month-old baby. Doctors say it could take years for White to recover.
Volunteers are selling high-quality items at the flea market booth from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The proceeds from the sale will go directly to White’s family.
