Four brothers who lost their parents within months of each other have secured enough money to buy their family home.

The Clifford brother’s dad Padraig died from cancer in January 2022. Before his passing, his wife Elaine sadly passed away from cancer in August 2021.

She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer just months before she died.

Patrick (21) Jack (14) Andrew (8) and Conor (5) were devastated after the death of both their parents.

However, the community in Milltown has rallied around the brothers.

Not only have they supported them through their grief, but they have also helped raise vital funds so the brothers can buy their home.

Over €380,000 has been raised for the boys.

They have now secured enough money for their family home.

The money will be put in a fund for the brothers. It will be used to purchase the house.

It will also be used for educational needs, as well as future endeavors.

The boys currently live in a rented family home in Milltown. The funds will now secure a home for the four brothers.

After losing both their parents, the brothers’ one goal was to try to raise enough money to have a stable family home.

Their extended family has praised the public for their support during this heartbreaking time.

They believe these funds will help the boys have a more stable and brighter future.

“Thank you all sincerely for your generosity and kindness, it will never be forgotten,” their aunt said.
