A young Milford student has “given something back” to the Donegal Hospice following the death of his mother.

Loreto Community School student Anthony O’Connor raises funds for the hospice in memory of his mother, Maeve O’Connor.

Anthony O’ Connor, a Junior Cert student, wanted to pay tribute to his mother Maeve, who sadly passed away last year.

Anthony handmade Christmas memory trees and sold them at the Loreto Community School Craft Fair in December 2016, to raise money for the Hospice that cared for his mum.

Anthony said he “wanted to give something back to the Donegal Hospice” and in the process raised a superb €535.60.

Some of Anthony’s teachers and classmates stood with him when he planted a tree in the school grounds in memory of his mother after donating his cheque to Kelly McIntyre representing Donegal Hospice. Principal, Mrs. Margaret O’ Connor is included in the photograph.
