Go Fund Me: A message from Lorraine Harris, SuperValu, Bailieborough:To some of our customers who might not be aware, our valued long-standing colleague Majella Kierans recently received the devastating news that her only child Alison was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
This came as an awful shock to Alison, Majella and their family and friends. We have had so many customers offering support and wanting to help. We thank you so much.
We have decided with her families blessing to set up a Go Fund me page to help alleviate the financial burden that lies ahead and make Alison and Majella’s journey as stress free as possible, so they can focus on recovery and healing.
Donations can be made by visiting, the Alison Fisher , Go Fund Me page on Facebook.
