The 'Help get Donal Home' fundraiser was set up to raise funds to get the Tipperary dad back home after spending months in hospital.

A fundraiser has been set up on GoFundMe for a Tipperary father who was paralysed after suffering a brain haemorrhage in March.

Molly O’Brien has set up the fundraiser for her boyfriend's Dad, Donal Coughlan, who has been stuck in hospital ever since March 14 when he suffered the haemorrhage.

If you wish to donate to Molly's fundraiser for Donal you can do so here. 

Molly writes: "Life decided to throw a huge curve ball at Donal and his family this year on march 14, 2025, when he had a brain haemorrhage, resulting in paralysis on his left side.

"He’s been stuck in hospital as an inpatient since then, but he is fighting back and making progress!

"To spring him from the hospital and get him back home to his family and familiar surroundings, we need to work some magic on his house and car. Since he is currently out of work, we’re reaching out for a little help.

"The money we raise will be used to convert the bathroom into a super-convenient wet room, install a stairlift so he can conquer those stairs to his bedroom, and tweak his car to give him some much needed mobility.

"The family would be much appreciative of any donations either big or small. Let’s get Donal home!"
