She collected 500 donated items to families of sick children staying at Ronald McDonald House.

She is asking the Greystones community to donated unwanted Christmas gifts.
Cosmetics, stationery, toys and clothes.

Please donate superfluous items which must be brand new due to infection control.
This is based on principles of recycling and the “circular economy”.

Items may be left at Greystones Cancer Support, La Touche Place, Greystones.
Rachel may be contacted on Facebook Crumlin’s Bundle of Fun or avalongdns@gmail.com.
