Help Charlie Ward on His Long Road to Recovery

On January 26th, Charlie Ward collapsed and fell at home, sustaining life-threatening brain injuries. He was taken to Beaumont Hospital, where he spent four weeks in a coma, underwent two major brain surgeries, and battled severe pneumonia. Doctors prepared his family for the worst, unsure if he would ever regain consciousness.

Miraculously, Charlie woke up. He recognised Christina. He began to speak and in time, he took his first steps. After so many weeks of fear and uncertainty, those moments brought a deep sense of hope and overwhelming relief.

Charlie is now in a rehab facility in Merlin Park Hospital. He continues to face challenges, including left-sided neglect, where his brain struggles to register the left side of his body. He is making progress each day, but his recovery will take time, patience, and continued therapy.

He is unable to return to work for the foreseeable future, and Christina is caring for him full-time while also looking after their three young children - Melanie, Archie, and baby Jessica. The emotional and financial strain on the family is enormous.

This fundraiser has been created to support the Ward family during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity will help cover the cost of Charlie’s care and rehabilitation, and ease the pressure on Christina as she supports her husband and children. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion and support.
