Tramore Family Raises €900 for Waterford Hospital with Gonk Crafts

Local Kids’ Crafty Endeavor Returns €900 to Support Waterford Hospital

A heartwarming fundraising effort by siblings Molly and Fionn O’Driscoll, with the help of their parents, has amounted to a generous €900 for Waterford’s Juniors for Juniors charity. The family from Tramore created an adorable menagerie of woolly gonks, surpassing their initial goal of 40 handmade creations to reach over 200.

Young Molly dedicated her afternoons to crafting the whimsical gonks at their kitchen table, while Fionn channeled his tooth fairy earnings and pocket money into the cause. Their collective efforts and generosity didn’t go unnoticed by Joe Daly of Juniors for Juniors, who expressed gratitude for such dedicated community support.

The charity, renowned for its personal touch, is set to open a new €30,000 sensory room in the pediatric ward of University Hospital Waterford. This new resource will include mobile equipment to enhance the comfort and well-being of young patients.

The O’Driscolls joined the community in celebrating at the recent Juniors for Juniors Teddy Bear Hospital event at SETU, where hospitalized teddy bears received tender care. Their generous donation brings the charity one step closer to realizing its vision of a soothing sensory space for children and families in need.
