Welcome to Hugh's House
A home away from home for families whose seriously ill children are receiving hospital treatment in Dublin.
The Hugh's House Christmas Wishlist
Hugh's House provides a free home away from home for families whose children are seriously ill or receiving hospital treatment.
Our families don't choose to spend Christmas in Dublin. They're here because their child needs them close by.
So this Christmas, we're asking our wonderful supporters to help us make Hugh's House feel a little more like home.
A pair of pyjamas and slippers for Mum, a set of deodorant for Dad, a toy for their, or even a hamper of food for the house, whatever you can give, thank you for helping us bring a little Christmas magic to families when they need it most.
Please consider donating something from our Christmas Wishlist this year.
Together, we can make Christmas at Hugh's House a little brighter.
NEW AND UNUSED ITEMS ONLY PLEASE
