Little Stars Spring Newsletter
Read the latest issue of Little Stars – your supporter newsletter. On every page you’ll see the amazing difference your support is making in the lives of the sick children and their families across Ireland who depend on the expert care provided by Children’s Health Ireland hospitals and urgent care centres.
Inside you will meet some incredible people who organise fabulous community fundraisers, hear about the New Children’s Hospital and you’ll find out about the amazing fundraising efforts of our corporate supporters, including Tesco.
You’ll also read about twelve-year-old Zoe, who at two-years-old, was diagnosed with a rare form of systemic arthritis that caused her agonizing pain. After a long and difficult medical journey, one that is still ongoing, she is now a happy and positive twelve-year-old.
“They said it looked like Zoe had an aggressive form of systemic arthritis – that her immune system was attacking itself, causing inflammation in her joints,” – Natalie, Zoe’s Mum
You’ll also read about Áine who was diagnosed with a rare bone condition called osteopetrosis (or ‘stone bone’.) Over the ensuing months this brave girl spent 108 days in hospital, at times fighting for her life.
We recently caught up with Áine’s Mum, Sara, who told us about Áine’s first Christmas at home after spending so long in hospital.
Please donate today and give the precious gift of comfort and hope to families with sick children in Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin, Temple Street, Tallaght and Connolly right now.
