Connecting For a Good Cause
Posted in charity, health, parties by Sarai Fernandez on December 9th, 2009
A long time ago, in 1872 some good people from Dublin founded a tiny hospital for poor children. It had only 8 beds. But the idea was so successful that only 4 years after that, there was such an increase in activity that they had to ask The Irish Sisters of Charity to run the busy hospital.
Over time, this hospital grew and grew, andis now known today as The Temple Street Children’s Hospital, one of the most important hospitals in the country, which leads investigation and treatment in several areas such as neurological, eye, craniofacial, kidney, airways and metabolic disorders. The great success of this centre is that they’re always involved in new projects to improve the experience of staying in a hospital for both the children and parents.
Now this hospital is raising funds to develop a new dedicated Cystic Fibrosis and Respiratory Out-Patient Unit, that will cost €2.7 million. They are also looking to buy new equipment, some machines which can help in the diagnosis or in the treatment of ill children.
The fundraising office for Temple Street Hospital has thought of 12 ways that everybody can help the Hospital, and therefore the children and their families. At Connector we would like to join this good cause and that’s why we are going to fundraise at our Christmas Party. So if you also think that healthy children is something worth to fight for, join us on thursday’s evening at Lillie’s Bordello: make connections, have fun and connect for a good cause.
