Kieran Rigney - Covid-19 Children's Appeal Fund
Donation protected
Kieran Rigney is from Banagher in County Offaly and is working and living in the Dominican Republic for NPH.
Due to Covid-19, donations have dried up and food from local hotels have stopped as tourism grinds to a halt.
All money collected will be used used to purchase food for the Children at Dominican Republic NPH as well as supporting the Special Needs children with medication and housing.
On their property is Casa San Marcos- Marco Simoncelli which is their special needs home. It was designed to fit the needs of all their children, especially those in wheelchairs. It has multiple therapy rooms, including a therapy pool. The home is large enough to house up to 20 children and their caregivers, giving us the chance to help more children with special needs.
Casa Santa Maria, also referred to as the “Haiti House,” is a community service program at our home in the Dominican Republic for children from Haiti with cancer. These children are referred to the program from the NPH Haiti St. Damien Pediatric Hospital. The children and their parent or guardian can stay in the NPH home in the DR while receiving radiation therapy in the capital, Santo Domingo.
