Welcome to the Jimm Revelle Fund Blogsite

The Jimm Revelle Fund is a non-profit charitable effort to assist in raising much needed money for Jimm Revelle and his family. Our friend Jimm has been hospitalized with pancreatitis, and complications too numerous to mention.. since May 29th, 2007. All of his rooms have been in intensive care wards, and his medical condition critical. His recovery will continue to be long and expensive, and this blog is dedicated to detailing what his friends, acquaintances, and coworkers are doing to help.
Jimm is at University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
For information on his medical history and his current status, go to JimmUpdates.

May 2008:
It had always proven difficult to get updates on the Fund.. but let it just be said that many expenses were taken care of during the life of the Jimm Revelle Fund. As noted in the post of May 29, 2008.. there was not enough in the Fund to cover the funeral costs at first, but following Jimm's death there was a flurry of contributions exceeding $2,000.00. This amount enabled Deborah to pay all of the funeral expenses. Jimm's good friends had come through again.

It is important to note that whatever small amount was left over has been kicked back into the main fund called the Community Of Compassion. Monies in this fund go to help people with problems similar to Jimm's family, scholarships, and other important community needs.
It has been suggested that additional contributions could be made in Jimm's name for a scholarship fund. We will pass the word around on this and see if folks might be interested.
Thanks.
