Win a signed Everton shirt by helping Yellow House charity

Dear TW friends - please read my article - which not only explains my long absence but also gives you all a complete update of where I am right now - in Arrowe Park Hospital Cancer Ward 30 - my article is open and honest - I do hope you read it and can support me/Yellow House in any way you can - you can write to me here - georgemck1853@gmail.com

I am bedhound - have been for months and however long the future is.

I send my Cosmic Grooves to you all - and thank you for our many years of sharing Al things Bluetiful.

I've donated, George.

God bless and god speed.

Let's hope the Blues put a smile on your blue face.

Thank you Danny - I have visits from several of my Dark House friends and we discuss everything Bluetiful - love it - thank again for your support - keep in touch - Cosmic Grooves

No problem George.

As always, watching the news this morning.

Touching story.

A very close friend succumbed to this a few years ago. Terrible disease as are most.

Nice they will finish the march at Goodison and ultimately over there.

Hi George. Read your article and have donated. Inspirational as always.
Sending you positive vibes.

Thank you Lynn - received your donation with thanks - the shirt is Bluetiful - signed and verified - good luck - but more importantly you are contributing to the Future Legacy of Yellow House. I knew TW and Blues would respond well.
Up The Blues

Lovely to hear from you, George, mate, but just wish it was to hear from you under better circumstances. It's nice to see your spirit remains though George, but I wouldn't expect anything different from an arl Cardinal Godfrey Toffee!

Keep fighting, George, because if there's one person everyone on these pages would love to bump into when the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock finally opens, then I'm guessing it's you! 💙

Thank you, Tony,

I do not wish to drag you all into the serious situation here - we Blues have enough of those to deal with. I am - like Everton - well supported.

I manage to watch the games via my iPad when possible otherwise it's listening via The Official EFC Sites - and health of course.

My thoughts while laying in bed - Medication, Treatments, Injections, Drips, Bedpans - are I am still trying.

I think it was Marcus Aurelius who first wrote it - “to live a life worth living” - thanks again for your support.

Up The Blues.

Fighting - George, “fighting to live a life worth living” because you are loved and very well supported, and “you shall not be moved”.

My head is gone with our club, George. Ratcliffe passed the test to part-own Manchester United in around one month, whilst 777 Partners have still got some convincing to do, even though they have been on it for seven months.

I've just been reading that although they remain confident, no verdict is imminent until after Everton have heard the verdict from their second appeal, which is enough for me to try and get myself into a different type of hospital, with your old mate Randle McMurphy!

Keep fighting, George, and once again it was a pleasure to hear from you.

George, words are never enough, but a hug really does help. A vitual one is all I can send, but as Tony said, it's a fight worth winning, a seat in the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, a tear in the eye because you did it. Because you're there.

Hold fast that determination and know there are 40,000 fans behind you. Fight you bugger.. because it's your round at the Bramley Moore..:-)

George, Much love and respect for all that you have completed and contributed to, well everything.

Always looked forward to your matchday posts and it sent me off looking for songs. I really hope you are able to get back to the Dark House and visit the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. So please keep fighting, if you can.

Sending you all the best, George… donated.

"Those who love much, do much and accomplish much, and whatever is done with love is done well."

George sincere best wishes and the very best of luck with your fight against this terrible illness, fight on George, life is the most precious thing you have and your life is well worth fighting for. You gave and give the most precious gift of all to everyone who came to you at Yellow House- - - - Love. Some of those kids needed that love and they got loads of it off you George, you don’t won’t or need praise George but give yourself a big pat on the back, not too hard, and here’s a gentle one off me.

I’ll light a candle for you on Sunday George: You can pay me for it next time I see you!!

Thank you all for such wonderful and really beautiful comments - cannot reply to every individual - exhausted just now - but you are all in my Blue 💙 Heart and Soul - I will try to keep in touch.

Sending you very best wishes, George. Hang on in there.

My very best wishes George (donated). I know that hospital very well. I hope you get some good news regarding your health and of course our beloved team.

All the best, George – you should have set a higher target!

This is too sad, George.
Am I dreaming it or were you moving to southern Italy?
I'm in the draw and sending you my best wishes.

"Posso cosmic vibes" to you, George! I've so much enjoyed your early Saturday/match day notes from "over the water", it felt only right and proper to donate and enter.

Keep giving to the very good cause blues.

George, I am up at the weekend for a family event on Monday. I will come and visit you.

May the higher being and every dead and living Evertonian bless you George.

I've never been lucky enough to meet you except on the page but I admire you.

I'm gutted that for now you can't glance out your window and see the new stadium rising from the earth.

You're important George. You matter. You've made a big difference in so many walks of life, not least in the charitable and social and what Everton means on and off the pitch.

Can I contribute from the other side of the Atlantic mate? What a legacy.

Take comfort in the walls of affection and respect around you mate.

I used to run cross country in Arrow Park for St Mary's in Crosby, Was is St Anslem's, I used to lose to?

I was lucky enough to share a beer with you in the DH a few years ago.

Having read about the Yellow House and your work there, you are clearly a great man of our great city, George, and I am proud to have met you. Keep fighting, George, the force of this site and indeed the club are with you!

Keep fighting George, just donated.👍🏻

I am overwhelmed by your goodness and compassion - and all of your Bluetiful comments - they are a great support to me.
Without being too dramatic this Shirt Raffle will help to leave My Legacy for Yellow House - www.yelwhus.org ukLink for a decent and positive future - they deserve it.

Thank you dear TW friends.
Cosmic Grooves All The Way.

Hello Dave Abrahams and all on TW - Dave I was only informed today that you went into Yellow House last week to make a contribution for The Signed Shirt - and met with Rachel - hope you enjoyed your visit.

George (25),

I hope you are still fighting George and feeling a bit stronger,I lit the candle on Sunday and said a quiet prayer for you and will keep you in my prayers.

I never actually met Rachael but had a nice chat to her and asked if it was okay to pass a donation into the office and leave it at the reception which I did.

George if you didn't already know it, you are well loved and respected at Yellow House. I just mentioned to Rachael about the love that was given to young kids when they were in a bad place and went to Yellow House, she said she was one of those kids. She sounded like a very nice and well mannered young lady, a testament to the way she has been educated and guided by you, George, and other genuine people at Yellow House.

Good luck and God bless George, maybe you are being watched over by that Priest you used to talk about in your posts at ToffeeWeb, can't remember his name. Keep fighting, George.

Come on everyone. Keep this worthy cause going.

Thank you both and all - God Bless Father Winder.

George (28),

When I read about Yellow House, through yourself mostly, I think about a great film, from before World War Two, Boystown starring Spencer Tracey and Mickey Rooney.

It was based on a true story about a priest who took loads of homeless boys into his care and gave them a home and shelter and guided them into becoming better people, a cracking film.

That's meant as a small tribute to you, George, what a real legacy that will be to you, George, 20 years from now hopefully. God Bless Father Winder and yourself.

Donation made, all the very best to you George, you're what we used to call 'a good skin' (it was the Merseyside version of a good egg).

Top man, George. You light up everywhere you go. An honour a pleasure and a bloody proper laugh to have me you. Wishing you all the best in the world.

Thank you all - Eugene and Andy - thank you.

Believe it or not, Dave, I saw Boys Town when I was young. Always went to the movies with my Mum Anne. I remember thinking – honestly – I would love a life like that.

After 10-12 years in a Bank, I then left and founded Yellow House and have had a really marvellous fulfilling life. Thank you all on TW for your support and kindness and contributions to my legacy (and yours) – The Yellow House.

Go to YouTube - enter "yellowhouse Liverpool" and you can see what we do and watch lots of our young people talking about their time with us. You are all helping to keep that going - very much appreciated by all of us.

Cosmic Grooves All The Way - your friend - George

Dear George, I had the privilege of meeting you a few times in the Dark House.

I can remember a wonderful night when we sat together with your mates after a 0-0 Merseyside derby a couple of seasons ago. I am very sorry to hear about your situation and wish you all the best from Leiden, the Netherlands.

A proud Dutch Toffee
