A charity concert is to take place in aid of Sharon’s Girls Building Fund.
The aim of the concert it to raise fund to build bedrooms for three young girls from Drumkeen who were oprhaned before Christmas and who are now living with relatives who do not have bedrooms for them.
The girl’s mum, Sharon Alexander, 34, passed away in the Donegal Hospice in early November, just two years after her former partner, and the childrens’ father, died tragically.
She left behind three daughters – Shannon (15), Amy (14) and Kayleigh (12). Following the death of their mother, the girls were forced to give up their council house in Castlefinn.
Amy has Down Syndrome and is currently on a waiting list for heart surgery.
She is being cared for by her aunt and uncle at their home in Killygordon.
Meanwhile, Shannon and Kayleigh have been taken in by another aunt and uncle in Drumkeen. To compound matters, the Drumkeen bungalow is too small and the girls have to, literally, live out of their suitcases. The Killygordon house has no downstairs bedroom, which Amy requires due to her special needs.
Family and friends set up the charity ‘Sharon’s Girls’ to raise enough funds to extend the Drumkeen house and to build a downstairs bedroom for Amy in Killygordon.
The concert takes place tonight, Tuesday 2nd February in the Villa Rose Hotel, Ballybofey
