Christmas has come early for St. Gabriel’s Foundation thanks to a heartwarming gesture from Owen O’Sullivan and the residents of Tara House, Clarina.
St. Gabriel’s today announced a generous Christmas donation from Limerick businessman Owen O’Sullivan whose work alongside Ukrainian communities motivated his support for children facing hardship this Christmas. The gift highlights the strength that comes from communities standing together through shared challenges.
Speaking about the donation, Owen O’Sullivan said, “This Christmas, I’m making this donation in honour of the Ukrainian communities I’ve had the privilege to work with. They know the weight of difficult times, yet they show remarkable resilience and solidarity. The Ukrainian community has experienced incredible kindness and support since arriving here in Clarina. This Christmas, we wanted to give something back to the community that welcomed people in need with open arms.”
Treasa McAuliffe, CEO of St. Gabriel’s, expressed her gratitude, “We are sincerely grateful for this generous Christmas donation. Support like this strengthens our ability to help children and families who are facing real challenges. It’s heartening to see communities come together in such a meaningful way, and we deeply appreciate everyone whose kindness makes our work at St. Gabriel’s possible. We are deeply thankful to Mr. O’Sullivan and the residents of Tara House for their kindness.”
