Fundraiser for brave Limerick boy with meningitis who needs surgery

A GO FUND ME page has been created to support the parents of a very ill Limerick boy.

Una and John Quish are sleeping on chairs in a Dublin hospital as they care for their son Noah.

He was diagnosed with severe obstructive laryngomalacia, scoliosis, chiari malformation of the brain, severe sleep apnoea and a chromosome deletion shortly after he was born.

The brave six-year-old, from Monaleen, has had numerous life-saving surgeries and has spent much of his short life in hospitals. But through it all Noah keeps smiling.

A post on Limerick's Little Blue Hero Noah Quish Facebook page this Sunday said he is a very sick boy at the moment. His parents Una and John, originally from Ballylanders, are currently sleeping on hospital chairs.

"Noah has a form of meningitis and the next few days are going to be very tough as he has to have more surgery, maybe three more so they are looking at a long and scary few weeks in hospital.

"We ask for prayers for Noah and his family at this hard time. I will put the Go Fund Me link below as you can imagine it's not easy as both Una and John are now off work for the foreseeable. Any help would be appreciated," reads the post.

No tears for brave Limerick boy Noah on his first day at school

Una told Limerick Live it is costing them a fortune to stay in Dublin as this was an unplanned hospital visit.

"We don't have accommodation, we are both sleeping in the hospital chairs. We are hoping to get parents' accommodation again if there's a room," said Una.

The mum-of-two was named Limerick Carer of the Year in 2021 for her devotion to Noah.
