Fundraising event set for ailing Menifee boy

A special event will be held Feb. 17 to raise funds for the family of Billy Ojeda, a Menifee youngster who suffers from a serious disease.

Billy, who has been profiled in Menifee 24/7 before, suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He continues to lose mobility and has recently had two falls that make family members realize the importance of remodeling their downstairs bathroom to make it safe and accessible.

The event will have activities for kids and many craft items for sale to raise funds. There will be raffles held and pedicures and facials given. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 27956 Breakwater Court in Menifee.
