A fundraiser has been set up to help a little girl, who has been diagnosed with leukaemia.
Mia Flanagan from Clare was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) this April, a few days before her fifth birthday.
To help her go through this "challenging time", family friends have organised a fundraiser.
"With permission from Ruth and Ronan and due to so many asking how they can help Mia and them in this challenging time we've set up this GoFundMe page to help support Mia and the Flanagan family, said organiser Laura Kenneally on the GoFundMe campaign.
"Ruth and Ronan received the heartbreaking news that no parent wants to hear - Mia has T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL). Since then, their and Mia's world has been turned upside down with treatments and trips up and down to Children's Health Ireland (CHI) in Dublin.
"Mia is the sweetest, kindest and most caring little girl. She loves her big brothers, drawing, and her crazy wee cat Luna. Ruth and Ronan love their family fiercely and are amazing parents to Caden, Dylan and Mia. With these donations we can ease any financial stress they might have in continuing to love and nurture them all, especially Mia."
As the fundraiser hit the initial target of €30,000, the organiser thanked the public for their help.
"Again just want to say thank you so much to you all for donating. The kindness of people is truly remarkable. All this will all go a long way in making their life a little easier."
