Dear Adrian
I hope you don’t mind me getting in contact I got your details from Ciara Murphy who is a bereaved parent who volunteers with Anam Cara . Anam Cara is an all-Ireland organisation founded in 2008 by bereaved parents to support parents and their families following the death of a child. Anam Cara is open to all bereaved parents, regardless of the age or circumstances of their child’s death, or whether the death was recent or not. All Anam Cara Services are offered free of charge to bereaved Mum’s and Dad’s.
There is a strong possibility that your school has sadly experienced the death of a student or former student and will understand the devastation the death of a child has, not only for the parents but the whole community.
Last year your TY students very kindly helped us out with our bag pack in Dunnes Stores Forte Shopping Centre and we would really appreciate it if your students would again consider helping us out for a couple of hours with the Anam Cara National Bag Pack which takes place on Saturday 19th November in Dunnes Stores Forte SC between 10:00-18:00, this will help us to continue offering our services free of charge to bereaved parents in Donegal.
Your support would help Anam Cara raise awareness of our services in the community and will also help Anam Cara to develop and grow our support services for bereaved parents in Donegal. All funds raised from this event will be used to directly support bereaved Mum’s and Dad’s in Donegal.
On the day Anam Cara will provide t-shirts, collection buckets and information leaflets. There will be an Anam Cara volunteer at each store to offer support and answer any queries. We will be presenting a Certificate of Appreciation to all who help us on the day.
If you require further information about Anam Cara or can help with this national bag pack please contact us on 01 4045378 or email us on c.curley@anamcara.ie
Looking forward to hearing from you
Kind Regards,
Clodagh Curley
