Elizabeth's Phoenix Trust

Everyone has always asked me why the Trusts don’t exist in real life like in my books? And I thought, why not? Good question! Together with Christy Pritchard and Jordie Howes, we are setting up a GoFundMe site to raise money for the armed forces. We are collecting money from now, until Christmas, to send to soldiers who receive no gifts, necessities and cards at this time of year. This money will be spent to ensure that no soldier feels lonely or sad at Christmas.

We would like to also donate an amount to a soup kitchen to supply a Christmas meal for a war veteran living on the streets. PTSD and injuries can irrevocably harm a person’s self-belief, esteem and change their perception of life. Many veterans are living on the streets because they can’t cope with everyday life as we see it. As of yet, we may not be able to make the book version of the Phoenix Trust come to life, but we will start somewhere!

Our third goal is to donate sleeping bags and blankets to a centre that the veterans of the armed forces attend so they can at least stay warm. And should we exceed our target, any excess money will be donated to centres for prosthetic limbs for the brave wounded.

And our final goal will be announced in August/September with a PO Box number for you to send cards to, so we can include them in the packages.

So please, let those who put their life on the line for us know that they are not alone at Christmas and never will be. An everyday hero, as I call them, has touched every one of us at one time or another. This is such an important thing for us, so we are raising as much money as you can donate, weekly, monthly, or a one-off donation. It all helps. As Phoe says in my books, even five bucks can make a difference. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all in advance.
