KARE 4 Kidz, a Kerry-based children’s charity, will be holding a fundraising table quiz in the Fels Point Hotel this Thursday at 8pm.
Kare 4 Kidz was set up 4 years ago with the aim of providing financial support to the families of sick children.
Grace O’Donnell of Kare 4 Kidz explained that this support is vital.
“The need is there for families who are going through the trauma of having a child who has, in many cases, just been diagnosed with illness. They have to take time off work, with one, sometimes two of the parents having to give up their jobs.”
“It’s huge pressure – the idea of Kare 4 Kidz is that we could provide financial support and help alleviate some of that pressure,” said Grace.
The charity also holds Christmas and Easter parties for sick children with learning disabilities and their families. More information about the charity is available on their Facebook page.
The price of entry to the quiz is €20 for a table of four and there will be a raffle on the night.
