Donation of equipment to the Patient Comfort Care Treats Fund, Department of Psychiatry in Roscommon University Hospital

A very generous donation of equipment was recently presented to the Patient Comfort Care Treats Fund, Department of Psychiatry in Roscommon University Hospital in memory of the late Seán Donelon, Glenamaddy, Co. Galway who was previously an inpatient in the Unit.

The equipment, including Ipads, playstations, wireless headphones, nintendo switch, seating, furnishings, was presented to the Patient Comfort Care Treats Fund by Seán’s sister Claire Dolan and Kate Fahey. The funding for the equipment was raised primarily by the ‘Glenamaddy Truck and Tractor Run’. The fundraising was undertaken by the family in appreciation of the care Seán received while he was a patient in the Unit.

Seán’s family would like to thank Glenamaddy Equestrian Centre, Divilly’s Bar Glenamaddy, P&D Agri Services Ltd and Roger and Sharon Fahey, all of the stewards, gardaí, civil defence, everyone who gave sponsorship and made a donation.

Claire Dolan said; “A special word of thankyou to one of Seán’s best friends, Johnny Collins. Johnny took it upon himself to raise funds for the truck and tractor run by doing the ‘Westport Sea 2 Summit’ raising a whopping €3,000. We are very grateful and Seán would be very proud of you.”

Adrian Tully, Clinical Nurse Manager III, Department of Psychiatry, Roscommon stated; “We are very grateful to Claire, Kate, the Donelon, Dolan and Fahey families for organising the very generous donation of equipment to the Patient Comfort Care Treats Fund in the memory of Seán. These items are and will be extremely beneficial to in-patients in our Unit. The memory of Seán will live on through the happiness brought to many during their recovery journey.”
