Cliona’s Foundation provides financial assistance to families who have critically or terminally ill children. While we cannot cure a child, we can help them cope and soften their heart breaking journey, by uniquely providing financial assistance to families, who have exhausted all other resources.

Story

Thank you for being part of making a real difference

Cliona's is a national Irish Charity that provides nationwide financial support to families with a seriously sick child or with chronic complex care needs to help with the significant hidden non medical costs of caring for them & being by their bedside at home or in hospital. These can include travel, accommodation, car parking ,travel & much more.

For further information please visit www.clionas.ie but below is feedback received from a family supported

"With spending 7 months at present in hospital, 24/7 with our daughter it meant neither of us could work as she needed 24hr supervision.

We are not entitled to carers benefit etc as she has never been discharged from hospital

We were living on my maternity benefit which has stopped now & didn’t cover the mortgage, bills or her supportive needs.

We are so grateful & overwhelmed with your support

This is a light in a foggy dew for us to help steer our way into a clearer sunny place"
