Carmel Doyle, CEO with the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, has been bowled over by the support;
"People have been incredibly generous in offering often prized personal possessions of huge sentimental value. However, people also recognise the really important work of our Jack and Jill nurses and the frontline home nursing and end-of-life support that we provide to 362 children across the country today."
