Generous partners across Ireland and around the world donated over 1,190 Euro to this year's MayDay Appeal with more gifts still coming in.    The annual OM Ireland appeal enables people to invest in the vision to see lives and communities transformed in Ireland and all over the world.

In addition another 50.000 dollars (37.594 Euro) gift from one of OM Ireland's regular supporters in the US has been a significant boost to the Lacken House appeal.

OM Ireland's Alastair Kerr said, "We are very thankful for every gift coming in for OM Ireland and every supporter donating to OM Ireland. We are thankful for both big and small gifts. The small gifts together can add up and make a big difference.

"OM Ireland is still struggling with its finance, we need more regular supporters to meet our needs every month. So do please bear in mind that every little gift helps."
