Fund started in Middletown to support siblings of James Hutchinson

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (WKRC) - A new fund has been started in Middletown to support the siblings of James Hutchinson, the 6-year-old who police say was murdered by his own mother and then placed into the Ohio River.

The Middletown City School District, Middletown Police Department, the City of Middletown, along with faith-based support groups opened the “James You Are Loved” Memorial Fund at First Financial Bank.

The purpose of the Memorial Fund is to provide monetary support for James’s two siblings, Rachel and Lucas. One hundred percent of the donations received will go to the siblings. The proceeds will not be used for funeral expenses as the arrangements have been generously donated.

How to donate:

• To make a donation, you can visit or send an e-check to any First Financial Bank Branch using the name “James You Are Loved Memorial Fund.”
• You can mail a physical check to Middletown City School District, One Donham Plaza, 4th Floor, Middletown, OH 45042 to the attention of “James You Are Loved Memorial Fund.”
