We all take a lot of things for granted in our everyday lives, like a good night’s sleep, being able to hang out with the lads or just enjoying some down time. However, not everyone can enjoy those ‘luxuries’…
There’s nothing worse than seeing a sick kid. You have to stop and ask yourself, “Why them? What did they do to deserve their fate?” While we can’t do anything to change the past we can certainly help with the future and that’s where the Jack & Jill Foundation comes in.
The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation provides direct funding, to families of children with brain damage who suffer severe intellectual and physical developmental delay, enabling them to purchase home respite care. These are children who as a result of their condition require intensive home nursing care.
Here’s a little video the foundation has released promoting text donation service, but be warned, it’s going to hit right in feels.

Anne Reilly is Brigid Flanagan’s Jack & Jill nurse. She has been with the family since Brigid’s son Richard was only weeks old. Anne is the person Brigid credits with helping her bring her baby home…
You can text “WE CARE” to 50300 to donate €4 (less than the price of a pint) and 100% of your €4 donation will go to The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, so you know your money will be going to someone who deserves it.
It’s an extremely worthwhile cause and every single donation helps. For more check out the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation website here.
