Appeal for volunteers and supplies for Sligo project on DIY SOS The Big Build Ireland
An appeal has been made for volunteers and supplies to help make a world of difference for a Sligo family as part of the DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland.
In just a few weeks (25th October - 2nd November), DIY SOS: The Big Build host, Baz Ashmawy and the team will travel to Sligo to rally the troops for the family of Ross Mannion and Claire Carpenter.
Claire suffered a very serious stroke in February of this year, just months before their planned wedding, and has been in hospital ever since. Together with their three children, they are coming to terms with the effects of this stroke and with Claire’s reduced mobility, and their house needs vital adaptation to allow her to return home to the centre of their busy and loving family.
In a social media post DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland said "This is our first ever build in Connacht and what better way to start than with the family of the head coach of the Connacht rugby senior women’s team. So come on Sligo, let’s stand shoulder to shoulder and show the country what Connacht is made of…!"
