Rosie & Jim are humbled and thrilled to Make-A-Wish come true for Liam.

Thanks to Irene of Make-A-Wish for sending on this lovely letter.

Liam, age 7, from Galway, lives with a number of medical conditions including chronic lung disease, a metabolic condition called PKU and has an amputated leg. He wished for his own special garden that combines his two big loves – the outdoors and trains. The garden was specially designed to suit Liam’s needs and includes soft play surfaces, planting and landscape features to stimulate the senses, as well as a beautiful train for Liam to climb into and call his own! Liam’s dream of his own peaceful, accessible garden is now a reality thanks to the commitment and generosity of his friends, neighbours, the local business community and of course sponsorship from Rosie & Jim.

Liam’s Mum, Louise, said, “Liam was in hospital until he was four years old and since coming home he just loves playing outside and visiting his local train station to watch the trains come and go. It is truly amazing to have such a perfect place for Liam to call his own and enjoy. The surfaces are perfect for crawling on and he just loves having his very own train!”

Many thanks again for your sponsorship of Liam and Danielle’s wishes – I can guarantee you that the legacy of both will live on for a long time and bring joy and happiness to the lives of these very special children.

Best wishes,

Irene

Family Fun Day - Rosie & Jim Chicken ProductsThe Family Fun Day which takes place in August is a day that we dedicate to our children and their families.

It is a day of fun, laughter and activity where the children who use our service and all their family members are invited to come together on the grounds of LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, where our staff and dedicated volunteers create a special day for them all. The day includes face painters, bouncy castles, games entertainers, stilt walkers, a marquee tent for activities, a DJ, Build-A-Bear, a first aid tent, a treasure hunt, as well as big BBQ and an ice cream van with spot prizes for all! All of the activities are especially designed and created for the participation of our children, and their families can join in the fun. This special day for our families would cost us over €6,000, but with the in-kind support of many suppliers, this cost is halved.

Rosie & Jim have this year sponsored the cost of this incredible event for us, ensuring the provision of a wonderful day for all the family to enjoy together.

Rosie & Jim have made a donation of €200 to Castlebar Town FC. They are renting out a local school's pitch for training and matches as they  resurface their own pitch and badly need funds to help them rent and maintaining the grounds. If you are local and can help please consider donating to them!

We are really pleased to share that Rosie & Jim have donated €2000 to the much needed UNICEF Afghanistan charity.

1 in 2 Afghani Children Will Battle Malnutrition in 2022

Today, the situation unfolding in Afghanistan is getting worse by the hour.

Without help, 1 in 2 children under five in Afghanistan will be acutely malnourished in 2022.

Rising malnutrition, COVID -19, drought, disruptions to health care and crippling winter weather are putting 12.9 million children lives at risk.

The situation in Afghanistan is critical, and now winter will make it worse.

Winter in Afghanistan is severe, with temperatures regularly dropping below freezing. Without winter clothing, blankets and fuel, hungry children will struggle to survive.

 

Dear Rosie,

We have just received your amazing donation of € 2000.00 and vital supplies are now on their way to children!

Kindness like yours is ensuring that our mobile health teams can keep taking essential nutrition and health care services to the most vulnerable children in the hardest-to-reach areas. With around 300,000 children forced out of their homes because of the conflict, you are also supporting mobile health and nutrition teams in camps for internally displaced people and setting up nutrition hubs. Your recent donation will help to ensure that critical services like this can continue.

Thank you again for your wonderful kindness and timely help. With very best wishes from everyone on the team at UNICEF Afghanistan.

Alice Akunga
UNICEF Afghanistan Representative

Reading about the death of ordinary people living on the streets of Belfast has hit home to many of us.
