Jack & Jill Children's Foundation
Donation protected
The Jack & Jill Children's foundation offer families nursing support at home where a child up to the age of 5 has a significant neuro-developmental delay involving severe learning difficulties.
They supported my wife and I for 3 years when Reuben our youngest of 2 boys stopped breathing at home when he was just 4 days old. Our lives were turned upside down in a matter of hours but thanks to Jack & Jill we got the support we needed to give us the time to take a break from our 24/7 daily nursing duties which allowed us to spend time with our other son, do the shopping or simply go for a coffee - normal daily activities that most of us take for granted. Knowing we could call on them at a time of need was such a relief and it got us to where we are today almost 7 years on.
It's costs Jack & Jill €16 per hour for every nurse they provide to other families who are in similar situations to what we were in. So as a thank you I wanted to do some fundraising to help provide them with the crucial funds that they need to get nurses out to families in need. I am setting my target at €768 as this will provide 48 hours of nursing to those who require it. If I have exceed this target I am going to shave my head which currently has a very overgrown hairstyle with not having had a cut in over 10 weeks.
So all I'm asking for is the cost of a coffee and this will go a long way towards my goal. A number of 'friends' have offered to shave my head for me so I am going to give that job to the 'friend' who donates the highest amount.
Thank you in advance for your support & donation.
