Help Support Amelia Murphy

We are fundraising in support of 8-year-old Amelia Murphy, a bright, kind-hearted, and spirited little girl from our local community who has recently been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Amelia has just completed 1st class at Monaleen National School, where she is known for her sunny personality and love of learning. She’s also a talented Irish dancer who proudly took part in her very first feis this year — a day she’ll never forget.

Amelia’s diagnosis has come as an overwhelming shock to her family, friends, and everyone who knows her. She is now undergoing an intensive treatment plan at Crumlin Children’s Hospital, which requires frequent travel, extended hospital stays, and major life adjustments.

Amelia is the beloved daughter of Brendan and Caroline Murphy, who have been active and valued members of the Annacotty and Castletroy community for over 20 years. Caroline and her mother Eileen are well known among Irish music fans and rarely miss a Nathan Carter concert. Brendan is a familiar face to many through his work and community involvement, and both parents have always been the first to support local events, schools, and clubs.

Amelia’s big brother, Cillian, has just finished 4th class and is an enthusiastic member of both the Monaleen GAA and UL Bohemians Rugby Club. The Murphy family are passionate Limerick GAA supporters — they’ve cheered on the boys in green through thick and thin, and now we have a chance to cheer for them.

In this difficult time, Brendan and Caroline have had to step back from work in order to care for Amelia and support her treatment. The financial impact is growing, with the cost of travel, accommodation, and time away from work placing a heavy burden on the family.

We have set up this GoFundMe to help ease that strain so that the Murphys can focus entirely on what matters most — helping Amelia get better.

Every donation, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Your kindness and generosity will help this much-loved local family through the most challenging time of their lives.

Let’s rally together and show the Murphys the same unwavering support they’ve always shown our community.
