United for The Bomber and Daisy

Help rebuild their lives and home.

On Sunday night, the 27th of December last devastation came to the door of Bernard “Bomber” Hanrahan as fire engulfed his home in Barntick, Clarecastle.

Alerted to the catastrophe by Daisy, his faithful companion, Bomber thankfully escaped the blaze unhurt.

While Insurance will go some way towards replacing the physical infrastructure a lifetime of memories and mementos have been lost in the flames.

 

Bernard Hanrahan is known far and wide as a great community man who has given of his time for so many causes. “Bomber” as he is affectionately known was, and is, always there to give to others both as a County Councillor and community activist, and now so many have expressed the desire to help him. This appeal will allow all his friends to rally round and show solidarity with a very generous community man.

This “GoFundMe” is being organised to help bridge the inevitable shortfall in the insurance, and to assist him in replacing what was lost, in so far as it is possible to do so.

While assessors and surveyors walk through the scorched remains of what was once a home filled with love and laughter, we would wish to help the Bommer in any way we can to get through the weeks and months ahead.
While our emotional support is a comfort to the Hanrahan family, financial assistance is needed as well to cover the unexpected expenses that will not be covered by insurance.

Now staying with his daughter Rhona, the long-time community activist, is counting his blessings, while keenly aware of the memories he has lost. “There was lots and lots of memorabilia connected to my mother and father and all of that has been lost,” he said. “My late wife, Margaret, would have helped me to build that up over the years. I was born and raised in that house and it was my home for around 70 years.”

 

Thank you in anticipation of your generous support
