Trevor Jason Benso was born Oct. 26, 2008 with an extremely rare terminal illness called lissencephally. He was also born with a heart condition and was only given about 6 months to live. Now more than ever ,Trevor needs his parents, and unfortunately, they have exhausted every financial option. All Trevor's parents want is to keep him comfortable.

Friends of the Benso family are hosting a spaghetti dinner fund raiser from 4-7:30 p.m. today at the Nevada City Elk's Lodge. Donations are being accepted and there also will be a raffle. If you are unable to attend but would like to make a donation, trust funds have been set up at West America Bank and Citizens Bank of Nevada County under the name of Trevor Benso.
