Following this initial donation, a scheme was introduced allowing staff to take additional items in exchange for charitable donations, which raised a total of \u20ac3,425, with Vistra\u2019s support allowing the fundraiser to proceed internally. <\/p>\n

Samantha explained how, in her late mother\u2019s memory, the funding was donated to Milford Care Centre. \u201cMom knew about us donating, before she died I closed the iDonate. All that was left to do was the cheque presentation.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u200aI had decided to do it in honour of Bridget Danaher, but she was still alive when all this was going on, and it was only when we were actually planning to do the cheque presentation that she had just passed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The organiser said the initiative became especially meaningful as it coincided with personal family circumstances. Samantha said, \u201c\u200aIt was\u00a0very special, and it\u2019s going to such a wonderful organisation\u00a0and we were very\u00a0happy to do it. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd mom was absolutely thrilled and very, very chuffed because Milford came down. Anne Marie, who\u2019s the head of fundraising, actually came down and met mom, and she thanked her and made a fuss of her, and mom was so chuffed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about the donation, Milford Care Centre said, \u201cThank you to everyone in Vistra Corporate Services for supporting Milford Care Centre. Your generosity helps us continue providing essential care to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vistra Corporate Services Ireland raise more than \u20ac3,000 for Milford Care Centre Vistra Corporate Services Ireland has raised…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[206580,61,60,32690,43,206581],"class_list":["post-479217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-care-centre","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-milford","tag-news","tag-vistra-corporate-services-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
