Story
To raise money for a plaque at the crematorium in the woodlands area for Chad (Charles Martin Pollock) the homeless guy in westend Morecambe. The cover photo is of a pre troubled Chad and his friend Joni. I have been told the service will be covered but he will not get a remembrance. Everyone knew who he was and helped him so I'm hoping you will help him this one last time. You can make a donation by card or paypal on this page or I will also take donations at Vanilla hair & beauty, if I am not there please put it through the letterbox with your name on it and I'll add it to the just giving page, if you want to stay annonymous please let me know. If anyone knows any of his family please ask them to get in touch if they are doing anything for his remembrance as I don't want to step on toes, I just want him to be remembered. Should we receive donations and then find out the family are doing it then I will donate to a homeless charity to help others so please don't donate if you don't want this. Many thanks in advance. xx

7 years agoAbsolutely amazing! We have raised £1390.84, I have been promised another £58 but I have not received it yet so if they do give me it, it will be a total of £1448.84. As you know we will be getting Chad a plaque at the crem in the woodlands area, I have an appointment with them Wednesday, then theres the crowdfunding fees/flowers etc and then the surplus will be going to Morecambe homeless action and also Wolfwood. What a wonderful bunch of caring people we have in Morecambe, I can't thank you all enough. xxxxxxxxxx

7 years agoI have heard today that Chads funeral is Thursday 25th May at 9.30am at Lancaster & Morecambe crematorium. All welcome. I am still accepting donations via this page for the next 5 days then page will end, however, I am still taking donations at Vanilla hair & beauty in cash. I know we have raised enough but all the excess will be being shared between Morecambe homeless action and Wolfwood so all will be going to good charities. xx
