Rosie & Jim are delighted to regularly donate boxes of product to the fantastic Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Above is a photo of Joe Kenny from RMHC picking up the boxes last week.

The mission of RMHC, Ireland, is to provide a Ronald McDonald House in order to support families whose children are seriously ill in hospital. The Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation and a caring and supportive environment for families whose children are seriously ill and are hospitalised or undergoing medical treatment at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, Dublin 12

Check out these recent photos of Hank, our sponsored Guide Dog for the Blind.  He is loving life and befriends most animals he meets. His puppy raiser, Bernadette, says he is doing very well, very intelligent, obedient and diligent to work. He's almost 9 months old now and growing fast. He will remain with his puppy raiser, Bernadette, for around another 3 to 4 months depending on scheduling of training at HQ in Cork.

Ronald McDonald House Charities have awarded Rosie & Jim with a Certificate of Appreciation for our Chicken donations.  Here is a photo of the award pictured with some members of our wonderful staff.

The pups will make their way to Cork in the next few weeks for year 2 and formal training will begin.

Exciting times for all three of them - though they are sure to miss their puppy raisers.

Rosie & Jim donate €200 to Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services

We received this lovely letter of thanks from the team...

On behalf of all those who use Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services, their family and friends, I would like to extend our most grateful thanks for your generous donation of €200. Your gift will allow us to continue to help our patients to live the last chapter of their lives to the fullest.

Here at Our Lady's Hospice and Care Services, we provide specialist care to people with a wide range of life limiting conditions, both in our hospice and within their homes. Budget cuts and demands on our services mean that we have never needed the help of the local community more to maintain our services.

This donation will help us to further develop our services and to give high quality specialist palliative care to our patients and their families.

Thank you from all of the team here. Your kindness is truly appreciated.

Rosie & Jim are humbled to donate €2500 to the The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Ireland Annual Appeal.

For almost two centuries now, caring souls like you have been at the heart of a proud SVP tradition of giving to people facing great hardship at Christmas. Amy’s family are really struggling. Her father lost his small business last year and he’s trying to keep everything together. But he can’t keep up with all the bills. As prices continue increasing, he just can’t afford food and fuel. Some days he has to choose between feeding his children or keeping them warm. That is unless Amy’s father picks up the phone to SVP… and you are there to answer. Your donation today will help families like Amy’s with basics such as food and fuel. You could give them some breathing space to pay their bills and keep their home warm. You can make sure they don’t have to skip meals. You can reach out your hand to a neighbour in need. You could save a family from impossible choices this Christmas. So please, if you can, support our Annual Appeal and make a special Christmas gift to SVP today. Thank you for helping families in need in your local community.

It’s hard to believe that two years have come to an end but we are thrilled that the support we have given to Irish Guide Dogs now has a happy ending for all.

We are delighted to report the outcome of the 3 pups we sponsored back at the end of 2018 have had the following results:

Izzy – is now a Guide Dog with a lady in Cork

Champ – is now a Guide Dog with a gentleman in Louth

Hank – is now an Assistance Dog for a family in Cork who’s son has autism. He has been in training with them since last month.

Amazing! Well done to the Team of raisers and trainers at Irish Guide Dogs!
