Washington Grieves for Flip the Circus Boy

On January 10, 2012, a tragedy occurred in Sudden Valley, Washington. A ten year old boy named Caleb Kors accidentally hung himself in his bedroom. He was rushed to a Bellingham hospital and then flown to Harborview Medical Center in downtown Seattle. He was put on life support for 24 hours, but he died the following day of brain damage caused by lack of oxygen.

Caleb Kors was not an ordinary child. At the age of eight, he saw the Bellingham Circus Guild perform at a concert in a park. He was so impressed that he enrolled in a guild member's workshop for young circus performers. Caleb became a talented street performer who was also known as "Flip the Circus Boy." Flip performed with the guild. He also performed juggling, magic tricks and acrobatics at the public market in Bellingham, WA.

It's always sad when a child dies. Always. I believe that the death of a child is a parent's worst nightmare.

I don't know the Kors family. I'm not affiliated with the fund for the Kors family in any way. I'm merely posting the following information for those who might want to make a donation to help pay for Caleb's funeral expenses. Please bear in mind that Caleb was a 10 year old boy whose death was completely unexpected. His family needs our prayers now.
