Give Seriously ill Children their Childhood Back

Cancer steals the magic and fun from childhood.

Because of your support, at Barretstown we have been able to create a magical world, where children, like Darragh, can come to get a break from their illness and rebuild the confidence cancer can take away. Where they can experience the incredible wonder and fun of being a child again and the therapeutic benefits that brings. The support and generosity you have given us this year has made this possible and helped unlock the world of Barretstown for another child, like Darragh. There is no better gift you could have given this year and this Christmas!

Cancer throws children into such an adult world, overnight. The level of knowledge that children like Darragh have about cancer and medications is just unbelievable. He’d blow you away with his level of maturity. But that takes its toll. And while medicine is busy treating the illness, generous supporters just like you, allow Barretstown to treat the child.

The support you have showed us last year is going to help bring even more sick children through the gates of Barretstown in 2022, which is so vital as right now, another child like Darragh, is at one of their lowest points in their battle with cancer. Your support this year will ensure they get the best gift of all – fun, laughter, healing and hope! Your support is going to help them take back some of the magic and joy that serious illness is stealing from them. And rebuild their confidence. On behalf of them, and all the team here at Barretstown, I can’t thank you enough for your generosity and for your ongoing belief in the work of Barretstown.

 Wishing you, and yours, a magical, healthy and happy 2022.
