St. Gabriel's provide a range of specialist services and therapy interventions for 1600 children with disabilities in the Midwest. 64 children with profound physical disabilities attend a special school onsite. St. Gabriel's also provide hydrotherapy and orthotic services to children with disabilities and to people in the wider community. A recent addition to our services is a beautiful purpose-designed Children's Respite House at Mungret. The house caters for overnight respite needs of children with significant physical disabilities and associated complex medical needs. These are very vulnerable children who have multiple diagnosis, cerebral palsy, developmental disorder and profound learning disability. Some of the children also have life-limiting conditions. Fundraising plays a major part in providing much needed funds to help support our work and improve the quality of life for children with disabilities. Thank you to all our donors for their generosity.
