Help us bring our Mom - Maura Heffernan (nee O'Gorman) home

We wanted to update you and let you know our Mum has passed away. She passed peacefully in the early hours of Monday morning 24th March.

Our family cannot begin to express how grateful we are to you all for the outpouring of kindness.

Since launching the fundraiser, the amount of kind hearted people that have taken the time to reach out to us to mention the Kevin Bell Repatriation trust, and other suggestions of support has been so helpful and such a comfort.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far, you truly are incredible people. Please continue to share everywhere you can.

Our family is so very appreciative of all your amazing support. Mum would be happy to know we are surrounded by such caring people.

Unfortunately we have had to up the fund request due to our brave mum continuing to fight longer beyond original expectations which is also having a knock on effect with the hospital bills continuing to rise. Once again we appreciate & thank everyone who has already helped us to get this far.

We need your help to bring our amazing mum Maura Heffernan (OGorman) home to Templeglantine, Co. Limerick. Originally from Kilkee Co.Clare, and later Togher Co. Cork.

Maura, set off on the trip of a lifetime across to Canada to visit family - but things have taken a horrible turn.

Our mum suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage on Thursday 20th March only 6 days into her holiday. Unfortunately she will not recover from this. As you can imagine with rising costs of the hospital bills, bringing her home and to give her the best send off that she deserves we are making this plea to help us make this happen.

Every little bit counts - whether it’s a donation or just sharing this page. Mum is stuck in a nightmare, and we need to do everything we can to get her home.
