About Cliona's Foundation
Cliona's Foundation provides nationwide financial assistance to families of seriously sick children to help with the non medical costs of caring for their child while in hospital or at home
There are approx 5,000 children in Ireland with a life limiting condition and for many of these families the additional cost places them in crisis.
These costs include but are not limited to accommodation, travel, car parking, food, childcare, specialist equipment & much more and can amount to an additional €15,000 a year
For many of these families one of the parents has to give up work to care for their child reducing the household income & placing significant financial pressure on them.
Cliona’s believe that no family should have to face any added financial stress, when already struggling with the devastation and trauma of a seriously ill child.
Cliona’s relies 100% on income raised through a range of activities including events & fundraising, corporate donations, philanthropy & private donations and charity partnerships & have supported 1,900 families over the past 18 years - 186 in 2025.
Thank you for your support
