Baby Elegance Baby Bundle for Covid-19

Donation protected
** WE NEED YOUR HELP **
As we are all very aware we are in the middle of pandemic with COVID-19. This has and will affect each and every one of us in some way, be that from job losses, school closures etc but one thing is for sure, it will have a devastating effect on our healthcare system.

Please hear us when we say this is not a brand crying out for publicity at a time like this but we are a business who have something we feel we can offer up as a prize to “hopefully” raise some urgently needed funds for our healthcare system to keep us all safe in the weeks and months to come.

We have taken inspiration from our good friend Rosie Connolly's amazing idea last year and we are offering a price of the New Baby Bundle with €999 to one lucky winner.
 
All we ask you to do to be in with a chance of winning this and raising some much needed funds along the way is to DONATE anything you can from €5 or more and you will be in a chance to win the Baby Bundle.
 
Please Please Please get involved and tell your friends and let’s get those much needed funds into the right place.
 
We have teamed up with the Mater Foundation 

Why the Mater and Mercy Hospital’s

The Mater Hospital is the national centre for lung health in Ireland. It is the only adult hospital in the country with ECMO life support and it is the home of the National Lung Transplant Unit.
It is one of the main hospitals in the country serving the eastern region and will be at the centre of the fight against Covid -19.
The Mater has almost 400,000 patient visits each year treating some of the most vulnerable people in our country, many of them elderly.
The Mater is also a national cancer centre and cares for over 9,000 cancers patients every year. .
It will treat large number of Covid-19 patients while also still caring for other patients with life treating conditions so they need as much support as possible.

Why unrestricted funds

We are all facing into the unknown for what the full impact of Covid-19 will be. The government has committed funding to support our hospitals but more may be needed.
Increased cases of the corona virus are certain and the Mater Hospital is prepared as best they can. It is important that additional funds are available to fund needs that will be become clearer as the situation develops.
Before Covid-19 hit fundraising was already needed to support projects such as robotic assisted surgery for cancer patients as well as developing new facilities for stroke patients and community services for elderly patients.
It’s important that this doesn’t stop.
Unrestricted funds means that monies can be allocated where they are needed most.

Support for hospital staff

The staff at the Mater Hospital are at the front line of the fight to stop the spread of Covid-19. They are working around the clock and going the extra mile to project all of us.
One of the greatest needs for staff in the weeks and months ahead is ensuring that they have the supports they need to help them to deal with the psychological and emotional trauma that they will have to deal with, their mental health. Many of them will contract Covid-19 and become ill themselves.
Ask for support
We have some of the best doctors, nurses and support staff in the in world working in our hospitals. As the Taoiseach said “not all heroes wear capes, some wear scrubs and gowns”.
 
They spend their lives putting others before themselves. But the reality is, if they fall down we all fall down. Now is our time to help them.
