Nationwide Tea For Tadhg

Jane Quinn • Feb 20, 2024

Afternoon Tea for Tadhg

The Tara Trust, Auckland Irish Club, Christchurch Irish Club and D4 in Wellington are helping Paula Gibson one of the Irish Mammies in NZ with various fundraising events for Laura Devine-Giles beautiful boy Tadhg!! A chance to raise some much needed funds and show this Irish family we are with them in this difficult time of need but also for all the Irish Community to come together and help where we can. Being away from home is difficult for everybody, so any help you can give will be really appreciated!
 
If you have some spare time to look after Teagan in Auckland that would be so helpful, Laura & Greg are in need of babysitters, emotional support and just day to day stuff also.
 
Tadhg Giles used to be a positive, energetic 10-year-old before he was struck down with a rare disorder.
