Donegal Community Rallies Unprecedented Support for Toddler in Critical Care

Thousands of euros have been raised in just a few hours today to support the family of a Donegal toddler who is fighting for his life in CHI Crumlin. Daibhin Curran, who is 21 months old, is the son of St Johnston couple Barry and Megan Curran. Little Daibhin was rushed from Letterkenny University Hospital to Crumlin last week for an emergency heart procedure. He’s received the devastating diagnosis of myocarditis and cardiomyopathy, along with rhinovirus and parvovirus infections. As Barry and Megan sit by their beloved boy’s side, their families have come together to raise funds to support them in their hour of need. A GoFundMe page, set up just six hours ago, has raised over €13,000 tonight thanks to the incredible kindness of both strangers and friends. Megan’s sister, Lisa Crawford, explained the seriousness of Daibhin’s condition. “His heart and lungs are not able to function on their own right now,” Lisa wrote. “Daibhin is being supported by an ECMO machine, which is a form of life support, used in critical situations. “We are asking for help to ease the overwhelming financial dreadful situation. “Any donation no matter the size will be greatly appreciated. “Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your kindness, support and prayers.” To support the GoFundMe, please visit: https://www.gofundme.com/f/fundraiser-in-aid-of-daibhin-curran-and-family Huge wave of support for Donegal toddler in critical care was last modified: by Tags:
