David’s Fund

Hi, this is the home of our friend and neighbour David Lynch which he shared with his father and his much beloved dog and companion Romeo. On the night before Christmas Eve David had left the house to get last minute shopping. Tragically on his return shortly after the house was engulfed in flames with his Dad John, formerly of Fountainstown and ex Dunlops Cork, inside. Tragically despite the incredibly heroic efforts of our firefighters they were unable to rescue John. In a matter of hours David lost his only family his father John and their incredibly loyal pet Romeo. David was left on Christmas Eve with absolutely nothing. In the short time that has followed trying to manage arrangements and trying to salvage any family momentos that may have survived the fire David has been faced with having to rebuild his life from nothing. With no home or family this terrible tragedy has made us want to reach out and try and fundraise to help David with the immediate costs that have already started, begin to fund alternative accommodation and try to , despite the horrific tragedy, begin to move forward. In the short term David needs to pay for funeral costs and new accommodation and remediation costs to just make the house safe in the interim. We hope , especially at this time of year so special for families that you may be able to donate any amount no matter how small to help our friend who has lost family and all possessions to begin rebuilding his life. Many thanks.
