Name for New Children’s Respite House in Limerick ?
Avista, Respect and the Lisnagry Association have joined forces to begin fundraising plans for a new Children’s Respite House for Avista Limerick.
We’re hoping to launch this exciting new fundraising project in the coming weeks, but we require your help to provide some creativity, first!
We’re looking for a name for this house that is engaging, inspiring, and reflects the children supported by Avista. If you / a family member/ a child (or sibling of a child) already availing of respite have any ideas, big or small, we’d love to hear them.
