SHARE A Dream Foundation made a Limerick teenager’s wish come true on Monday when they unveiled her ideal bedroom.
Sarah O’Sullivan from Askeaton, who is now 14, was born seven weeks premature. A bleed on her brain resulted in her having to endure an operation at just six months of age in Crumlin Children’s Hospital. She now suffers from cerebral palsy and scoliosis of the spine.
Sarah’s mother Bríd enlisted the help of the Share A Dream Foundation to transform her bedroom into a room more suited to a teenager. The Dream Team included an interior designer, painter, builder and a host of helpers who worked tirelessly to ensure that Sarah’s dream room became a reality.
Sarah was overjoyed with her new bedroom, as her mother Bríd remarked: “The transformation of the bedroom from what it was to what it is now was amazing and the interior designer Taliya really got into Sarah’s mind to create something that is just Sarah.”
She also thanked both the foundation and the members of the Dream Team for making Sarah’s dream a reality. Share A Dream Foundation welcomes anyone that wishes to help the charity through fundraising or volunteering to log on to www.shareadream.ie or call 061-200800.
