On this weeks episode Kelly welcomes Chris, Founder & CEO of fundraising platform GoodHub to the podcast.

Making Miracle's use GoodHub for all online donations and ticketed events.
We have recently got to know Chris through the partnership and found out that Chris has personal experience of baby bereavement, trauma and loss. Chris was so brave and kind enough to share his story with us.
Back in 2006 Chris and his then partner experienced an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, near loss of his partner's life and failed IVF.
Chris explains about the differences between their emotions. Chris felt a strong sense of relief and happiness once his partner came round from surgery, where as, his partner felt sad and filled with grief of loosing their baby.After a few rounds of failed IVF Chris describes how their relationship broke down. He talks about how they lost sight of each other and was consumed with their grief.
Years after Chris met his current wife and sadly they have also experienced failed IVF. With his past relationship breakdown they decided to stop trying and accept they will not have any children together this side of life. Even though they are very happy they still can’t help but feel like a sense of missing out or consider the “what if’s”.
Kelly and Chris speak openly about validation and the importance of the small charities like MM that provide massive support to mums and dads like Chris.
Chris sadly never received any professional support and is very passionate about helping all small charities that have an immense impact on families with the work
they do.
Every charity and non-profit is welcome to be a part of the GoodHub community – not just those with deep pockets and lots of professional resource.
