Jack & Jill Christmas Gifts of Time

“The Jack & Jill Foundation first came into our family when Cadan was almost five months old. We were just back in Galway and getting things organised to bring him home when the hospital contacted the foundation about receiving care from home. It was so hard at first to accept that we needed professional help from strangers to help care for our own child. It then started to become clear that we needed it, nights were long and hard and the days were even longer and harder (much harder than all the typical newborn issues that arise). The Foundation not only provided Cadan with nursing care but they became our voices, our advocates.”

“Within two or three days of being referred, our liaison nurse was in our home listening to us and telling us: ‘We can help you. ‘They have been the most supportive group of people. They have been lifesavers”

“Our liaison nurse from Jack & Jill came to meet us in the hospital and explained how they would help us. This foundation has been a lifeline to our family. Having Jack & Jill nurses means we can recharge our batteries knowing Harry is well cared for in our home.”

“They were quick, there was no bureaucracy, no fighting for hours, they put in the ground work up until the age of five and in our hour of need with a sick child, they were there.”
