Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page on iDonate.ie

I'm taking part in Christmas Jumper Day 2023. I've chosen to fundraise for CARI Foundation . 

CARI is the only organisation outside Dublin providing long-term therapeutic supports to children aged 3 – 18 affected by child sexual abuse and their families. CARI has a main office in Limerick, a secondary office in Dublin, an outreach centre in Wexford, and a National Helpline. Two further part-time outreach services in Louth and Kildare were planned to open in 2024 subject to funding approval from the Department of Justice Victims Impact Fund.  CARI has also taken a pivotal role in the development of the Barnahaus Project in Galway. Working collaboratively, more children in the Western region have been responded to in the aftermath of disclosing abuse, increasing from just 3% to 21%.

The inadequate funding that CARI already receives means children languish on our waiting list for 2 to 3 years. With the huge reduction recently announced for the core funding from Tusla, the outcomes for these children would be disastrous. 

I hope you can help me by donating whatever you can. Simply click the Donate button above. All donations are processed securely. All funds raised here will go directly to CARI.
