We are completely overwhelmed with the amount of money raised yesterday at Tattoo day events a grand total of €14,000. It was such a miserable day outside but inside the building there was laughter, tears and such a wonderful atmosphere. We want to thank all the organisers Catherine Fay , Sharon Barrett , Jennifer Fay , Caoimhe ( who is our youngest volunteer), Shane Traynor, Ann O'Brien Carroll ,Leslie Lawlor, also Derek, Tony and Louise you must have been completely exhausted. Also to Dermot Halligan for his lovely photos and the 3 friends of Janna who sold loom bands so that her broken hearted Mammy and family could do something nice for themselves.Thanks to everyone who got Tattoos, bought raffle tickets, dropped in for a coffee and a chat and everyone who donated raffle prizes. It was a privilege to sit and talk with the broken and also to hear from a mother who told us we saved her son, that's what makes it all worthwhile. You can be assured that every penny we raise goes to keeping our premises open and no matter what your donation was you too are saving lives. We don't get any Government funding so that's why days like this and all the other fundraising events are so important. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Margaret Doyle and all our wonderful volunteer counsellors and reception staff Kim Doyle without them we couldn't do what we do. Sorry if I missed anyone out God bless you all 💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜
