Breda Donnelly, Thomas Woodcock, Emer Donnelly and Lisa O’Brien
There was a happy ending for Lakers member, Emer Donnelly, when two local businessmen stepped in to save the day. Shane O’Farrell and Thomas Woodcock of The Ardmore Bar generously donated a brand new iPad when Emer’s went missing. Speaking to the Wicklow Voice, Anne King of Bray Lakers said, “We cannot thank Shane O’Farrell and Thomas Woodcock enough for this amazing gesture, it was such a kind thing to do for Emer. “We are extremely grateful to them both and we are delighted that we can highlight this good news story.”
When the Wicklow Voice spoke to Shane about his act of kindness he said, “I heard about the situation and I knew the tablet is essential in Emer’s daily life. “I didn’t even think about it, it was just the right thing to do”. Emer discovered that her iPad had been lost, much to the distress of Emer and her family. The device is extremely important to Emer as it helps her in her daily activities.
Lakers Sports Instructor Lisa O’Brien spread the word on Facebook page in the hopes of seeing Emer’s iPad returned. Unfortunately, the tablet was discovered and was beyond repair. Within hours, Thomas contacted Lisa and offered to replace the tablet.
