I'd like to submit 2 options for future consideration;

CHUF - Children's heart unit fund.

Sick Children's Trust.

I'll make no attempt to hide that both these charities I am eternally indebted to and for that reason I will always promote them and attempt to bring much needed attention to them.

CHUF is based in the Freeman hospital in Newcastle, where the children's heart unit is located. The facilities there are largely thanks to CHUF. They've been able to bring a sense of normality to the unit. They provide toys, games, clown doctors and therapies for parents and children. They fund research and equipment.

The sick Children's Trust provide housing for families of sick children. Parents are able to stay on hospital grounds, to be close to their children without the stress of travel or hotel expenses. While this may seem mundane, the removal of this concern is extremely helpful. Just knowing you can be close and have a safe, comfortable space to stay is a powerful tonic in its own right.

When your life is turned upside down and all you want is for your child to feel safe, to be in good hands and for you to be close. Both of these charities make that possible.

Life saving treatments.

Life saving security.

My boy is 8 now. He's as fit as a fiddle. I'm not sure that would be true without Chuf and in my families darkest hour the sick Children's Trust kept us together.

Hi ya Belly reading this makes me want to sell my comic collection to donate to these worthwhile charities, cant even imagine what you went through with your boy, just glad it worked out positive and thanks for sharing

I think a donation from Phoenix would be more than appropriate for a member of the comic community

Also the guy that runs Inkblot comic festival runs comic art courses for kids in school, youth clubs etc and might be worth a little funding, his name is Tom Wilson

Donations for members of the community is something we not only want to do but 100% will be doing

Thanks for this recommendation @emperor-biggles

Thanks for sharing. I can’t begin to imagine what that experience was like for you and your family. It’s wonderful to hear that your son is fit and healthy now. Both charities do incredible work, and we’ll absolutely be supporting them in the future.
