A CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC in Co Donegal will be accepting toys in lieu of payment for appointments tomorrow.
This is the second year that Freedom Spinal Health Chiropractic in Letterkenny has held a Christmas toy appeal.
https://www.facebook.com/Freedomhealthandchiropractic/videos/1508171452609909/
Speaking about the appeal, chiropractor Anthony Lavin said: “Instead of payment for care or adjustments on that day, what we’re asking is that guests who are booked in donate new toys, which will then be distributed by St Vincent de Paul to families in the area.”
Lavin told TheJournal.ie there has been such a great response to the appeal that he has opened a second donation box in Buncrana.
Lavin returned to Ireland last year after spending the previous decade in the UK. He ran a similar annual appeal with the Salvation Army while there.
When I came back to Ireland last year, I wanted to contribute. The local community supports me throughout the year so I wanted to give something back. It’s nice to be able to give something back.
Lavin said the clinic was “blown away by the generosity of people” last year – by patients and non-patients alike. He expects that about 60 toys will be donated this year, but more are always welcome.
“This is our second year of doing it. St Vincent de Paul do fantastic work and we’re delighted to be in a position to help them.
“We had a lot of donations from people last year who don’t come to our clinic, who wanted to support this great cause.”

Not even one ‘Swan-direction’ joke?
That’s one now, terrible it may be but they all count :-)
Call Simon Peg and Nick Frost! #specialists
you totes watched it when it was on this week as did I
Cornetto?
“Just in… the swan is making its way down o’connell street… reports of high casualties and cars set a light… president higgins will address the nation shortly after 09:00 a.m local…”
Will we get hourly updates on its location and condition.
Yes.
Yes keep us updated Daragh. It says Swans in Irish folk lore carry the souls of lost, neglected and abandoned children and they should be cared for when in need.
One of the Children of Lir coming from PCRS in Finglas – despondent as has lost it’s Medical Card even though is clearly unwell – like Hames Reilly ‘s Health Service – Swan is GOING DOWN THE TUBE
Johnny b quiet
Would it have been the candidate in the Bray local elections – Feathers O’Kelly ( look it up – he’s supported by the Harbour Bar) pulling a political stunt to get attention on the day of the election? Cheap stunt bird , thought you had more class…..
The Swan was going to a Crazy birds audition in the 02…..
They taste like salmon flavoured chicken
A child has been lodged in the Tunnel of Goats… If a nurse could please come to the Tunnel of Goats… A goat and a child have now become lodged together, and a nurse has become involved in the incident… Another nurse is required to remove the nurse mentioned previously…
The other big news story in Dublin besides what are referred to as eight story skyscrapers by the educated, was the man who kicked a pidgeon into the air breaking his wing and his two legs, and just kept on walking,plus the usual stabbings and shootings,Dubs, dont you just love em.
Swanning around in the port tunnel
