Waldrum has experienced a most difficult month of March, losing a sister and a brother in a three-day span.

Update: Prayers Working for Charles

I visited with my friend Charles today and while I was there a lady referred to him as a, ‘Superhero’ … He said, ‘I am?’ And she replied, ‘Yes, you are.’ … That’s when he looked at me and said, ‘I gotta get out of here so I can get back on the streets.’

‘Soon enough,’ I told him. … Charles is under great care and he’s cooperating just fine. How long he is in the hospital all depends on the healing process but he is expected to be fine over time. …

When we posted the call for prayers last night the response was overwhelming.  Over 750 of you commented on Weelunk’s Facebook page with words of encouragement and prayers for good health.

Truly Amazing!

Both Charles, myself and our staff at Weelunk thank you all for your prayers and please continue.

  1. God sends Angels, and messengers, in many forms.. I believe Charles is one of those, that God put in our path, to teach us what a truly humble heart is.. and to see how one can effect so many lives, just by being “good”.. I love this legendary man, and have the utmost respect for the “good in him”.. he is blessed, and blesses many. I remember him from my childhood days, all the way throught the first 40 years of my life, until I moved away from the valley. He is iconic, for sure! My prayers are with you, always, Charles.. You are serving your purpose in this life, that God has chosen for you.. it’s evident. Thank you, for being you. 🙂 <3

  21. My prayers are heading to Charles for a complete healthy recovery as soon as possible. I never thought growing up that Charles would be loved by so many but he is. I’m borned and raise in Wheeling grew up in East Wheeling and have high respect for Charles he’s definitely icon in the city. What other person could end up being honored Hockey team his own Bobble head doll well not many. The people who are mean to him steals his things and calls him horrible names are nothing more in the eyes of those of us who love Charles well we see you as nothing more than a sick parasite. You don’t even deserve to to breathe thr same air Charles breathe I know for one I could of never live the life Charles has lived and survives. It takes a special person to survive the way Charles has and even more special person to have a whole city love and respect you. It also takes a special person to help so many others expecting nothing in return. So Charles I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care friend.
