History
 Founded in 2006, CD’s Helping Hands is a West of Ireland Children’s Cancer Charity based in Galway. The Charities main objective is simple and that is to provide practical support to families in the West of Ireland who are affected by a diagnosis of Childhood Cancer.
Children with cancer in the West have the added dimension of travelling to Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin which is the centre of excellence, for their primary care and treatment. As a charity, we have witnessed first hand the impact that both the diagnosis and the travelling for treatment has on family life. In most cases there are other siblings to care for and while Mum, Dad or Guardians travel to Dublin or local hospitals to treat infections with their sick child, the remainder of the family’s needs must be also be taken care of.
