About the My Forever Boxes
My Forever Box is a personal memory making box to enable a child to process the death of a significant adult or sibling and to have their own safe box. The box aims to support the child and adult, enabling the pre bereaved child to process what is happening to their loved one, process grief, and initiate conversations regarding death and dying in a sensitive and timely manner.
30 families have already benefitted from the boxes, and we have received some incredibly positive and productive feedback so far:
- 'We have a safe space to allow us to treasure memories on special occasions.'
- 'The boxes were so good that I have made donations from a football tournament and the funeral collection to ensure that they can continue to be given to other children who find themselves in the horrendous situation.'
- 'The knitted hearts were a fantastic idea. I have since collected some more so that her brothers and parents can also have it to hold, knowing that she will have one with her for eternity.'
CHFT Charity are grateful to be able to help such impactful projects like this. Thanks to kind donations, we have been able to fund the first hundred boxes, costing £30 per box. CHFT Charity, alongside the Palliative Care Team, are running this raffle to raise funds to help continue the funding of the boxes.
Charity Manager, Emma Kovaleski, said: "It is thanks to our Charity supporters who have so kindly raised funds and donated into the Palliative Care Fund, that enables this type of project."
