About This Deal
How Your Money Can Help
-
€5 can go towards a Sensory Toy such as an echo microphone, designed to help children play with sounds and interact with others.
-
€10 can go towards a Star Light projector which projects a starry sky across the ceiling, providing a calming atmosphere and visual sensory stimulation for children with complex needs.
-
€15 can provide a Puppet Buddy for play therapy. Using puppets allows children to create their own world to play out and reflect on things that are currently affecting them but that are difficult to talk about.
-
€20 can provide materials for a Memory Making Kit – with clay, hand and foot moulds, canvasses, art materials and frames, LauraLynn’s team spends time with the whole family creating fun memories and beautiful pieces of artwork to be treasured by a family forever.
Almost 4,000 children in Ireland currently live with a life-limiting condition. They require specialised palliative care, and their families need support. A donation of up to €20 to LauraLynn Children’s Hospice can make a real difference to them and their carers.
