We have raised €70,395 towards the €400,000 Katie needs for life-changing hip surgery.

That means we still have €329,605 left to raise.

It feels like an impossible amount when we look at it as one huge number, but together it becomes possible.

If people donated:

💗 €5 — it would take 65,921 people
💜 €10 — it would take 32,961 people
💗 €20 — it would take 16,481 people
💜 €50 — it would take 6,593 people
💗 €100 — it would take 3,297 people

Every single donation matters. Every share matters. Every person who helps brings Katie one step closer to the surgery she desperately needs and the chance to keep walking.

Please donate if you can, and if you cannot, please share Katie’s story.

Together, we can do this. Together, we can give Katie hope. 💜

16th July 2026

I’ve decided to write a book.

For years, I have shared pieces of Katie’s story through posts, interviews, emails and fundraising updates, but there is so much more that people have never seen.

The fear from the very beginning.
The hospital stays.
The diagnoses.
The surgeries.
The setbacks.
The grief.
The laughter.
The endless appointments, unanswered emails and years spent fighting for help.

Most of all, I want to tell the story of Katie herself—not just the medical reports, the pain or the fundraising target, but the funny, determined and incredible young woman she has become.

The book will be called:

Katie’s Fight
A Mother’s Story of Love, Survival and Never Giving Up

This is not only Katie’s story. It is the story of a mother who has spent nearly 16 years refusing to give up on her child, even when the system did.

While I begin putting our story into words, the fight for Katie’s surgery continues.

Her GoFundMe currently stands at €70,310, and we are still trying to reach the €400,000 needed to get her to Florida for the surgery she desperately needs.

Please keep sharing Katie’s story.

@autcareandshare Have a wonderful holiday, enjoy every minute.

[Declan Ganley @declanganley]

Sinn Féin MEP Lynn Boylan, in an EU Committee meeting complains that she is prevented from being able to speak in Irish, implying there is no translation service available for Irish speakers. She is told, on the spot, that there is, (compliments of the European taxpayer). She then says she can't do it because she didn't prepare. The proverbial 'dog that caught the bus'.

[Ken O’Flynn TD @kenoflynnTD]

Eight women dead in Ireland this year. Published reporting shows one identified suspect is Irish. One.

Women do not feel safe in this country, and it did not happen by accident. It happened by policy.

I said in the Dail this week what half this country is thinking. The people are owed the truth.

I would do absolutely anything to see this total reach €400,000.

Not for myself. For Katie.

At the moment, she is completely stuck in limbo. Her friends are planning college, jobs, holidays and the next chapters of their lives, while Katie sits in her room waiting for news—waiting to hear whether she will be given the chance to have the surgery she desperately needs.

Her whole future has been put on hold because of pain, delays and decisions that are completely out of her hands.

She is only 19. She should be excited about what comes next, not watching life pass her by from her bedroom.

How is that a life?

We have raised €69,660, and I am so grateful for every single donation, but we still have such a long way to go.

I cannot get Katie there alone. Please donate if you can, and if you cannot, please share her fundraiser. One share could reach the person who changes everything for her.

Please help me get my daughter to €400,000 and give her the chance to finally move forward. 💔🙏

This should be given the same prominence on @rtenews as they gave his initial detention, but I bet it won't be.

[Debbie @debbieliz56]

Her name was Barbara, a 24-year-old French girl.

She was found dead in her apartment in Avignon, completely naked from the waist down, with clear signs of beating on her face and a dislocated finger.

The man arrested for her murder is Fouad Laazar, a Moroccan immigrant with 17 prior convictions. He was caught in the Netherlands thanks to a European arrest warrant.

His record includes weapons possession, death threats, aggravated violence, kidnapping, kidnapping involving torture and barbaric acts, driving without a license, and drug trafficking.

Barbara’s sister said:
“She was a joyful, smiling woman full of life who loved her family deeply. She was beautiful. What happened to her is atrocious. These acts are unforgivable.

We are furious about this violence. Who has the right to take the life of a beautiful 24-year-old woman who had her whole future ahead of her?

“Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings. It is an occupational hazard of living in society, and if you really can’t take it, become a hermit.”

These COVID nightmares will never be forgotten...

21-year-old Australian mom of three was violently choked by police & arrested for not wearing a mask, even though she had a medical exemption.

Today, 12 incredibly kind people donated €471 to Katie’s fundraiser.

Katie’s GoFundMe has now reached €69,290 — 18% of our €400,000 target.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donated today and to every one of the 1,900+ people who has supported Katie so far. Every donation and every share brings us another step closer to getting her to Florida for the hip surgery she desperately needs.

We still have €330,710 left to raise, so please keep sharing Katie’s story. We cannot do this without you. 💚

NIAMH UÍ BHRIAIN: It’s a very strange manhunt that doesn’t release a photo of the on-the-run suspect in the brutal murder of Jamey Carney. An Garda Síochána wouldn't explain why, but a law protecting the identity of asylum seekers may provide a clue:

9th July 2026.

“I just want to be me again.”

That is what Katie said.

Not dramatic.
Not attention seeking.
Not looking for pity.

Just a 19-year-old girl who wants her life back.

She went to school. She did what she was supposed to do. She sat down before she even needed to, just in case. And still, the pain came anyway.

She said she never has news anymore.

No exciting weekend news.
No normal teenage stories.
No college plans.
No future starting.

Just appointments. Pain. Waiting. Questions with no answers.

She smiles. She laughs. She tries so hard to be herself.

But underneath it all, her body is breaking her. Every day, every memory, every little bit of happiness is followed by pain.

And still, we wait on the @HSELive

Still no email.
Still no decision.
Still trying to raise the money to get Katie to Florida.

Katie doesn’t want people to feel sorry for her.

She just wants the chance to live without pain.

Please help us get her there.

Donate if you can. Share if you can. Please don’t let Katie be forgotten.

What has to happen before this government accepts that they have left every kind of scumbag into this country and put every child, woman and man in danger of being murdered

Or do we just keep saying there is no link to mass immigration into Ireland and crime?

More blood on their hands yet again

[Dr. Marcus De Brun @indepdubnrth]

So, I'm trying to refer a poor 58yr old widow, for an absolutely essential Bone Density Scan. The woman is self-employed, depressed and in severe pain. She has no medical card and she is struggling. She lives alone and has no kids.

The waiting list for a public bone density scan in Co Louth is 2yrs Long! And because it is so long, Louth County Hospital will no longer accept any referrals from GPs.

Her only option is to pay 135 euro and have the scan done privately, and she genuinely does not have the money.

I can't properly treat the woman until she has the scan, and she is really struggling with her pain.

This is the way public patients are often treated in Ireland.

It's absolutely gross!
