EZ Living Furniture raises €15k for Tanzanian charity

EZ Living Furniture has been operating in Ireland for the last 24 years and during this time, the firm has come to understand the importance of helping others. Over the years the business has been committed to helping as many local charities, communities and businesses as we can.

Several years ago, the company delivered a container full of mattresses to children’s charity TLM (Their Lives Matter). These were used to provide bedding for children with cancer, but also for their families who would often have to travel great distances to support their loved ones.

TLM - Their Lives Matter, is a non-profit organisation that was founded by inspirational Irish woman, Dr Trish Scanlon. Dr Trish, who is originally from Wicklow has been working in Tanzania for over 15 years helping to treat countless children who are battling cancer.

Since then, she has worked tirelessly to provide a wide range of supports including free chemotherapy for all Tanzanian children being treated across a network of cancer treatment centres. The dedication shown by Dr Trish and her team of medical professionals is truly heartwarming and it compelled us, EZ Living Furniture, to do whatever we could to help.

Last year, even with Covid-19 bringing most of our plans to a halt, we still managed to raise a significant amount of money for this very worthy cause. On the 10th of February 2022, EZ Living Furniture had the pleasure of donating a whopping €15,000 to Siobhan McDonagh and Orla Flanagan of Their Lives Matter - TLM. This would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the generosity of our customers and we can’t thank you all enough for helping us to reach this goal.

In 2021, the parents of the children being treated spent an incredible amount of time sewing fabrics together to create face masks for us to sell in our stores. These face coverings were distributed to 14 of our stores across the country and every single cent collected from those sales was then put aside for TLM.

The ever-popular Santa videos also made a return. Each video ordered at a cost of €20 saw Santa himself delivering personalised messages to children around the world during the Christmas season. Luckily, Father Christmas was more than happy to assist such a deserving charity.

All proceeds from every Santa video booked in 2021 raised over €12,000. Together with the face mask sales, the combined total of money raised for TLM came to €15,000.

EZ Living Furniture is extremely grateful to be in such a position to help those in need. This donation to TLM wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the community and those customers who come to us for their furniture needs. And for that, we thank you all.
