Rosie Connolly Has Just Raised almost €100k For Temple Street And Crumlin Children’s Hospital

Christmas truly is a time for giving, and Rosie Connolly has just proved that ten fold, by raising almost €100k for Temple street and Crumlin Children’s hospital.

Playing Santa Claus, Rosie shared a snap of a Gucci bag she bought and is gifting to one of her followers, all she asks in return is for her fans to donate as little as €5 to be entered into the draw.

Starting a go-fund-me account, Rosie set a modest target of €5k donating €1k herself, which was quickly surpassed within 12 hours… with her now having raised well over €80k for her chosen charities… and that figure just keeps on rising.

For fair reasons Rosie is overwhelmed by the response, and took to her Insta stories last night to share her gratitude with her followers.

“I swore I wasn’t going to come on and cry but I’ve spend the last hour bawling. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated.”

“I thought there was no way we’d get to 10k. It’s an incredible thing to raise money for.”

Showing us that social media isn’t all duck faces and trolling, Rosie commented on the positive impact her social media use has had on doing good for a worthy cause.

“I cannot believe that I haven’t even left the house and by putting something online, we raised this much money. It makes me think why didn’t I do this way earlier?”

Continuing she said:

“Social media can be a very nasty, negative, mean place at times but tonight kinds wins.”

“Kindess is everything and for you all to join me in raising money for the innocent ones in all of this, our children… I’m so proud of social media tonight.”
