Fundraiser appeal for family of “beautiful, brave” Boyle girl
Beautiful and brave Boyle girl Emily Rose Fagan.
A fundraising appeal has been established for the family of Boyle girl Emily Rose Fagan who has been fighting complex heart and lung conditions since birth.
After years of treatment, Emily Rose's condition has deteriorated rapidly and there are no further curative options. Time has now become the most precious resource for her family.
A gofundme page has been established for this “beautiful, brave little girl” who lives with her parents Stephen and Karyn in Boyle.
The fundraising page explains that despite countless surgeries and long hospital stays, Emily continues to bring light and love to everyone around her. The focus for the family has now shifted to comfort, care and making the most of the time they have together.
The gofundme page explains that the fundraiser is about giving Emily Rose’s parents the breathing space to step back from work and spend uninterrupted time with their daughter.
“Funds will help to relieve the financial stress on the family, allowing them to focus fully on Emily Rose and to make the most of their remaining time. Funds may also allow the family to create small, meaningful experiences together, centred simply on being together as a family and support additional quality of life improvements,” stated the fundraising page.
All funds raised will go directly into the Emily Rose Trust. The Trust has been established to ensure that funds are used solely to support Emily Rose and to give Stephen and Karyn the time and financial freedom to focus entirely on her during this period, while also supporting improvements to the family’s quality of life.
Upon her passing, any surplus funds will be distributed by the Emily Rose Trust to The Children's Heart Centre Crumlin, Cliona’s Kids and Cian’s Kennels.
