 to get involved if there's a sick child in a maternity hospital or in a children's hospital or even sometimes it's the home care teams, you know, out in the early intervention teams in the various areas who contact us to say that there's, you know, a sick child and that the parents could do a little bit of help at home. So all the money that we get raised, this is what the appeal is for now Christmas in particular is to help fund nurses, qualified nurses or carers to keep, you know, that little child at home. So their help to give, that they give to the parents helps to give the parents a little bit of a break, helps them to give them time, you know, to focus on their other children. But it's also a piece of mind because that qualified person can really look after that child who has multiple needs, you know, medication-wise or suction-wise or, you know, seizures, all sorts of, you know, tube feeding and whatever. So that's where our money goes, John, it's to fund the nurses. So every time we raise 18 euros, that pays for one hour of nursing care. So I can't tell you how wonderful an hour of nursing care is to a family who are really in need of that support at home. Yeah, that's the only, when you're in that situation, that you realise how vital it is and the great welcome that it is and the great relief that it is. And it's for- Absolutely. For children up to the age of six. Yes. Yeah. You were originally, when I started, which is, oh my God, nearly 20 years ago, we worked with children from birth up to age four, then we extended that for up to age five and now during COVID, we actually extended it up to age six. Because a lot of these children need that little bit of extra time, you know, our other children, we expect them to walk, talk, go to school at a certain age, but these children don't. They have a, you know, a different time frame for all their little achievements. So what we have done is, from the listening to parents, we knew they still needed that little bit of home health and home respite, so we've stretched our services to bring it up to age six, which is all the more important that we raise this extra million now, especially around Christmas coming up to year end. And it includes a number of children that are being cared for at the moment here in Donegal. Yeah, I have to say, I cover five counties, John. I cover Loud Meads, Monaghan, Cavern and Donegal. Yeah, so we have a few families, we always have a few families in Donegal, and I have to say the Donegal people I love, and I do get up there to visit and to meet with the medical personnel up there and go over to the families in their own homes. Donegal people are extremely generous. I always say it's like a breed of people on their own, you know, up in Donegal because I think you have to look after yourselves up there, you know, that's the kind of the feeling that you all look after each other, so they're all extremely generous when we put out a call that we need help, people are extremely generous. And as you said before, a lot of people don't know what our service is, it's only if you've had a family member who's availed of our services that you realize how wonderful this is. So especially for families in Donegal, as you realize, the children's hospitals are a good four and a half hour journey, you know, to get to Tempest Street or to get to Krumlan, so if we can help to keep those children at home for as long as possible, it's a wonderful thing. So yes, we always have families up around Donegal. Well, the way we can help us go to the website, jackandjell.ie, and have all we look to see, is there anything on there that might be suitable as a Christmas present, as a gift at this time of the year? And there's plenty of choice. There's lots of choice. Yeah, I mean, let's face it, candles are a big thing at Christmas, aren't they? So there's beautiful candles that have been designed by Paul Costello, the fashion designer. He and his son have designed two more different fragrances for us this year. And you also have a chance when you buy those, they're 27 euro 50 each, I think you get two for 50. You will get a little bracelet in each candle. So like there's a little gift at the bottom when you burn it down, or you might be one of the lucky people who gets a little letter saying that you are actually the person who won the diamond necklace, which comes on a gold chain. So you have a chance of actually, you know, even though you buy this for us and the money helps us every 18 euro that, you know, is raises an hour is nursing here, you also have a chance to win something or you get a little gift at the bottom of each candle. And then the other thing I think is the wonderful thing is the gift cards for teachers, especially at this time of year. So instead of buying, you know, whatever, you know, little things, you know, that maybe doesn't mean very much. You could buy a gift card with the gift of time card for your teacher, which thanks them for the care they've given to your child. And that donation of 18 euros, as I say, will buy one hour of nursing care for us. So I think every teacher would totally appreciate, I think, to be given that cultural gift, you know, rather than something small, you know, that, you know, is maybe not as as appreciators, you know. So there's a lot of things in a beautiful recipe. Exactly. Yeah. You know, those things that are lovely to receive because they're a token of how much you appreciate the teacher's time and patience and care that they give the children. But I think most teachers would love to get a card saying that a donation has been made to Jack and Jill. I really do think that. Then there's a lot of other things on the gifts, you know, during those in that gift section, which is that lovely book from Odlims, which is the big book of baking. And you can get those at the dump stores everywhere. They're 25 euros. But it's actually a lovely, lovely book because the recipes that you would actually use, because sometimes you buy books and, you know, the recipes that, you know, you might not actually ever, you know, use in your own home. But these are lovely recipes. So that's a beautiful gift to give as well. So yeah, there's lots of other things. But the other thing, mostly, you know, there's Christmas cards as well, which are lovely, but the one thing that I would like to say to you is the Lego donations. We were always known years ago for our recycling of old phones, but that's sort of a thing of the past now. What we now do is we recycle old Legos. So if you've left the old Lego around your house, you can bag that up and bring it to your local DPD depot and they will take it from you for nothing. And we recycle all those and we put them into bag kilo bags so you can actually buy them in our charity shops or you can get them online for, I think, a tenner, a bag or something like that. So we recycle Lego, every house of Lego in this, you know, and children go out of it eventually. So if you wanted to do something good at your Lego, you can donate it into wherever you're local. There's a local DPD office outside. Let it in there and other families then can buy it. And other children then get the gift of playing with that Lego. It's a lovely recycling idea. So that's something else that's easy to do. That is a brilliant idea because it means that the life of Lego will go on. And it means that just, you know, just because you're fed up with building the blocks doesn't mean that somebody else won't welcome them. And exactly something else entirely out of the Lego. Exactly. And my children grow up, you know, they go for this huge big set. So, you know, they grow out of the basic, you know, ones, but there's a lot of other children coming up behind who love those, you know. So, yeah, it's a wonderful way to gift it and keep it going forward. OK, all that and more, more besides at jackandjill.ie. And thank you very much for joining us and a very happy Christmas, dear. Not at all. Thank you for having me on. And happy Christmas to everyone in Donegal. Hopefully I will be up in the New Year to see all my families up there. See you. Bye. Bye.
