Let\u2019s Fund It has helped the Children\u2019s Ark of University Hospital Limerick every year and this year was no different.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Fund It reached out to Orlaith, the head of the Children\u2019s Ark Playroom to offer help through a donation for Christmas goodie bags. These goodie bags would be filled with toys and sweets and chocolates and given to children visiting the Children\u2019s Ark over the Christmas period.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Fund It offered a donation of 200 of these goodie bags for the children and the staff at UHL agreed that it would be an ideal donation to give as the children would then be each have a treat during Christmas.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Fund It agreed then set out on purchasing suitable toys and treats.<\/p>\n

This delivery was completed by Let\u2019s Fund it on Thursday, 25th November 2021. Let\u2019s Fund It visited the University Hospital in Limerick and met with Orlaith & Kris.<\/p>\n

They explained that the gift bags and goodie bags are superb gifts for children and should make them very happy over the Christmas period.<\/p>\n
