CABALL’S Toymaster in Tralee are helping out the Jack & Jill Foundation…with a little assistance from ‘Toby’.

Toymaster ‘Toby’ puppies are on sale in the Bridge Street shop and it’s all to raise funds for the campaign to provide home nursing hours for 300 Irish families with sick children.

People are being asked to visit Caballs Toymaster store in Tralee to purchase a ‘Toby’ mascot puppy for just €3 and every cent is going towards the Jack & Jill Foundation.

“Last year’s ‘Toby for Charity’ campaign was a resounding success. So we are delighted to be supporting Jack & Jill once again, with every cent raised from the initiative going to the charity,” said Caball’s Toymaster spokesperson, Ann Laide.

“Working in and supporting local community is very important to Toymaster so the ‘Toby for Charity’ campaign is very meaningful, as each Toby sold helps a child in the local community,” said Ann.

The ‘Toby for Charity’ campaign in aid of the Foundation is being supported by TV presenter Sybil Mulcahy and media personality Brendan O’Connor.

This is the second time Toymaster has run the ‘Toby for Charity’ initiative. Last year, almost 700 hours of home nursing support was made possible from the sale of the Toby puppies.

Eileen Ni Mhurchu, local nurse with the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation said: “Jack & Jill provides direct funding and home nursing care support, including end of life care, to families of children with brain damage up to the age of four years old who suffer severe intellectual and physical developmental delay. We give these families ‘the gift of time,’ which means time to do the things that we so often take for granted like shopping, taking their other children to the park or a night’s sleep.
