Susan O’Keeffe has Motor Neurone Disease, a progressive condition that affects how messages are sent to the muscles. She can’t speak any more and has very limited mobility; she can type with one finger. Even though she has a very serious illness and is facing life’s end far too early, her focus is on helping others. She has generously offered to help Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services to raise funds for the build and fit-out of 36 new single, state-of-the-art, palliative care bedrooms at the Hospice in Harold’s Cross.
We received a remarkable letter from Susan, telling us her amazing story, and the incredible benefit the Hospice at Blackrock is to her and other’s in a similar place to her.
We, at Rosie & Jim, were humbled to be able to donate €250 to the Hospice for these crucial building works.
Rosie & Jim recently sponsored new maxislide sheets and tubes for the children in LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice. This flat sheet sliding system is essential to allow our carers to perform a wide range of handling manoeuvres for our children, simply and safely, removing risk of injury to both the child and the carer.
