I hope you all don't mind me writing to you.
I thought that to make it easier you could write your thoughts, comments etc, here for Wendy to collect if you didn't feel comfortable messaging Wendy yourself.
Even a line of how you have benefited from being here could make all the difference to everyone and also show Wendy she isn't alone in this and that through her vision and hard work we have all found a place that understands us and a place where we can all feel safe, loved and supported.
You know there is no other sites like Chill 4us carers. So let's not lose it.
Please give support to the place that has always supported you
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Jane

I totally agree Jane, it would be a big loss in most carers lives. You cannot get the same advice, help, friendship and laughs anywhere else. It will be a worse place without chill.

Keeping writing everyone.
I have spoken to Wendy. Bless her she is so upset at having to close the forum as it has been her ambition for so long for all carers to have a safe friendly and wonderful place to go for care and support.
However Wendy needs our care and support too. She is very poorly herself and struggles to maintain Chill and take care of her own health. Whilst she is not asking us to moderate, fund raise or take over the site for her, all she asks that we send a letter showing how much we need Chill to her. She again will do the hard work of writing a main letter to the care minister to beg and cajole for help when she retires to make sure WE have a piece of heaven to chat in and be cared for.
If we keep up with giving our support by sending a few words which will be a quick easy job for us we MAY be able to have a stay of execution on our beloved forum
So please keep up all your hard work and spare a few moments to save our forum.
Thank you so much xxxxxx

I will be very saddened if chill closes. All Wendys hard work over the years in building up this forum, forging many friendships , and providing much welcome support and help to many will be lost.
This forum is special and I do hope that a way will be found to keep it going.
Its ironic that now many carers have a computer thanks to wendy , we are going to lose the one site that means so much to us to visit.

Lovely words from

Ross was most impressed by what you have sent, so when I write my letter I will now say that I am representing the members of Chill4usCarers.

I was told today, that everything we have done with Chill is what is mentioned in the New Care Bill.
I have sent our letters to Norman Lamb, so I hope he takes this on board.
Chill is unique, for carers by carers.
