Hi everyone,

We have set up this GoFundMe in the hope of raising funds to support our dear friend Mairead and her family during an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking time.

Mairead’s son, Aaron Mulligan, like so many young people from Ireland, moved to Australia a few years ago to begin a new chapter in his life. Tragically, Aaron was recently involved in a very serious road traffic accident and has suffered a severe brain injury that is not compatible with life. He is currently in critical condition in Royal Perth Hospital. Doctors are doing everything they can to keep him alive until his mum can reach him.

Mairead and her family now urgently need to travel from Ireland to Australia, flying through Doha in the Middle East, to be by Aaron’s side. This emergency journey comes with enormous and unexpected costs — last-minute flights, accommodation in Australia, and other expenses while they remain there supporting Aaron.

As Mairead’s friends, we wanted to do something to help ease the financial pressure on the family so they can focus on what truly matters — being with Aaron during this critical time.

If you are able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean so much. Every contribution will help support Mairead and her family through this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and support.

Lauren, Mary, Brooklyn and Natasha
