This Christmas, local girl Darcie from Tallaght and seven other incredible young patients from Children’s Health Ireland have come together to design a special Christmas card collection with MoonPig. These young artists, who have each experienced care at Children’s Health Ireland hospitals and urgent care centres at Temple Street, Crumlin, Connolly and Tallaght, are using their creativity to give back to the hospitals where they were treated and help other sick children across Ireland.
The collection of ten unique and festive card designs, each reflecting the magic and joy of Christmas in the individual style of each young artist. The eight children behind the designs are:
- Darcie (aged 7, Tallaght)
- Hazel (aged 19, Kimmage, Dublin)
- Caoimhe (aged 5, Tullow, Co. Carlow)
- Penny (aged 10, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary)
- Brody (aged 8, Sallynoggin, Co. Dublin)
- Freddie (aged 9, Castleknock, Co. Dublin)
- Roisin (aged 9, Cookstown, Co. Dublin)
- Chloe (aged 9, Walkinstown, Co. Dublin)
Darcie is a patient at Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin and Tallaght, where she receives the loving expert care of the doctors and nurses. When asked what she is looking forward to this Christmas Darcie shared that she can’t wait to wear her sparkly Rudolf Christmas Jumper on the lead up to Christmas Day. These cards were not just deigned to bring joy, and hope, but to showcase their gratitude for the care that they received from their time in Children’s Health Ireland hospitals. 100% of the proceeds from each card will go directly toward supporting other sick children and their families this Christmas, ensuring they have everything they need to fight illness and injury at this time of year.
The collection is now available for purchase at MoonPig Christmas Cards, making it easy for everyone to make a difference with every card they send.
