Actor Bradley Cooper has been in Boston filming a movie this past month, but took time off to go visit some of the victims that were effected by the bombings.

Jeff Bauman, who lost his legs in the major explosion, was visited at Boston Medical Center by Bradley and New England Patriots player Julian Edelman.



Holding an autographed football, Jeff looks to be in good spirits after the tragic events that have left him seriously injured.

He was also one of the victims that helped the police identify one of the suspects in the attacks.

We pray for the 3 victims that lost their life in the bombings, and we're glad that celebrities like Bradley and Julian are helping out.

The article contains a photo of a pale, but smiling Jeff Bauman giving a thumbs up surrounded by his guests and presumably/possibly his mom.

NASHUA – Thursday morning was just like any other morning shift at Costco, with employees setting up the store in the early hours and readying for the day. Except for the fact that the absence of one dear co-worker, Jeff Bauman Jr., was on everyone’s minds.

That’s why floor manager Tim Flynn had his crew line up in the parking lot and spell out their friend’s name. Lying on the pavement, they lined up their bodies to spell out “JEFF.”


Thursday marked the first day he was hungry and asking for food, Flynn said, and the general manager also showed him the photo of his co-workers in the Costco parking lot.

Some area businesses have rallied around the Bauman family this week, including The Bedford Village Inn and Nashua’s Pizzeria Maria, to assist with medical bills. On GoFundMe.com, the family raised more than $90,000 as of Thursday afternoon through the campaign titled “Bucks for Bauman.”
