OVER 150 children in Limerick have been supported by children’s charity Jack and Jill since 1997.
The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation have supported over 3,000 families since their inception 27 years ago.
The organisation currently supports 20 children and their families across Limerick, and provides in-home nursing care and respite to families with children who have neurodevelopmental delay associated with a severe cognitive delay.
Jack and Jill was set up by Jonathan Irwin and Mary Ann O’Brien who lost their son Jack at 22 months old, after he had been cared for by local nurses, vowing that no parents should have to walk the journey alone.
