Charlie Waller Legacy Fund

The Charlie Waller Legacy Fund was born of the Art for Charlie Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.

The Charlie Waller Legacy fund was recently created to provide financial assistance to families facing financial difficulties as a result of having a child with a life-limiting condition or who have had a child die of any cause. Named in honor of Charlie Waller, who died of terminal brain cancer terminal brain cancer at age 5, this fund supports children with life limiting illness and their famili

es. The emotional distress of caring for or losing a child is too often made worse by financial hardship. Many caregivers have to take time off work or give up their jobs to look after their child. Many lack the resources to make necessary improvements in their home for children with special needs. And, parents who have lost a child often do not have the ability to take time off work to grieve together. The Charlie Waller Legacy Fund was formed because Charlie's family recognized that too many parents had to endure the additional pain and anxiety caused by these financial shortfalls.

It's hard to believe today marks 10 years since Charlie passed away.

Friends of the family passed along cards and candles within his family's neighborhood yesterday, asking for neighbors to light them at sunset today. If you received one, please honor him and his lasting light by placing them in your windows tonight. Even if you don't live there, we invite you to do the same, wherever you live.

Hello friends. While our outreach and name have changed, our focus has not.

Children's Palliative Care Coalition of Michigan is going strong and we look forward to decades of advocacy and education to improve the welfare of sick children and their families.

Through this organization, Art for Charlie has morphed into the Charlie Waller Legacy fund and it was created to provide financial assistance in the form of grants to families facing financial difficulties as a result of having a child with a life-limiting condition or who have had a child die of any cause. We carry on in Charlie's memory to support others.

Please stay tuned as we update via this page. If you're interested in more information, would like to donate, or could benefit from a grant, please visit:
