East Anglia's Childrens Hospice releases heartwarming film: Ten-year-old "wants to show other children that hospice isn't a scarey place" 
EACH - East Anglia's Children's Hospices, United Kingdom; 6/17/24 
"What's particularly special is that it was initiated by Charlotte. She told us she wanted to be part of a film, to show other children that a hospice isn't a scary place," [said Simon Hempsall, EACH.] ... A powerful new film has been released to showcase the work of a children’s hospice through the eyes of a spirited ten-year-old receiving care. Charlotte Freegard stars in the three-minute production, speaking about her experiences at The Treehouse, in Ipswich [United Kingdom]. “The fact we’ve been able to work with her family to make this a reality is something we’re very grateful for. “Hopefully it helps many other children and families, both now and in the future.”
