Ronald McDonald House Charities has today, National Hug Day, launched an appeal for people to send a hug to their loved ones during lockdown and help keep the charity’s doors open amid the Covid crisis.
To mark National Hug Day 2021, Ronald McDonald House Charities is asking people to send Barróg, the Irish for hug, to someone you miss and help to support families whose children are seriously ill in hospital.
All proceeds from the purchase of Barróg go directly to supporting the families of sick children staying at The Ronald McDonald House.
The COVID-19 crisis has created especially challenging conditions for families staying in Ronald McDonald House.
With hospitals having had to restrict visits to one parent the House provides a haven for families between visits.
This service has been vital for families of children with long-term illnesses who cannot rely on the support network of extended family throughout the COVID-19 crisis.
To send someone special a big Barróg hug, visit www.rmhc.ie.
Each Barróg can be purchased for €10 ex p&p.
All proceeds from the purchase of Barróg go directly to supporting the families of sick children staying at The Ronald McDonald House.
