In addition, families have to face additional costs, both direct and indirect, relating to the illness and caring for their child. By providing even small financial assistance to families, Cliona's Foundation hopes to alleviate at least some financial worries. The Foundation is named after Cliona who lost her very bravely fought battle against illness in December 2006. The ultimate goal of the Foundation is to assist families in remaining intact and functional during their crisis and to endeavor that all the family members, friends and neighbours affected by serious childhood illness are helped and supported and no needs are left unmet for as long as needed. Miriam O'Callaghan is Patron to Cliona's Foundation. Speaking about becoming the charity's first Patron, Miriam O'Callaghan said; I am genuinely touched by the work that Cliona's Foundation undertakes and very pleased to be the charity's first Patron. Brendan and Terry are a genuinely inspiring couple who have turned their personal tragedy into making a difference to families who have a sick child by helping to ease the financial burden, during what must be an enormously traumatic and stressful time.
