Funds raised are used to pay for the hidden costs, including accommodation, food, petrol and other miscellaneous expenses incurred by families who must take sick children to hospitals or other medical facilities for frequent treatments.

The difference it makes to these families goes beyond the financial impact, but also gives them a lift psychologically. This impact is very evident from the feedback received from these families as follows;

“I just wanted to say thanks so much when I opened the check it actually made me cry. I was just so overwhelmed it means so much to have something in my pocket going away takes some of the pressure off. Ye are amazing ye will never know how much it means to us” Family from Cork

“Your kindness has helped us so much. I was lucky to be on maternity leave during our baby’s time in Crumlin but my husband did not work for the 7 weeks she was battling hard in hospital. Money doesn’t be long running low between parents accommodation, parking & food. At the time we didn’t care about bills or anything but they keep coming no matter what going on”- Family from Clare

“You will never know how much it meant to us being in Crumlin 5 ½ months with our son. It was bad enough him being so sick , but all the added expenses of just trying to maintain our home too along with living in Dublin and even just trying to have money for travelling up and down and eating was near impossible. The cheque we received was a godsend and came at the right time for us as we were at breaking point” –Family from Wexford.

“You have no idea what this means to us & it will help us in a huge way. When our daughter got sick my husband had to give up his job as we have 3 other kids, all under 7. This money will help us so much in just our basic day to day life, the food shopping & the diesel costs to Dublin for appointments”- Family from Sligo.
