We are devastated to hear the news about former Donegal All-Ireland U21 winner Sean Bonner.
Sean was rushed to Beaumont Hospital after suffering a severe bleed on the brain. He underwent an emergency operation, but during surgery a brain tumour was discovered, and he is now fighting for his life.
Sean Bonner is well-known within the Gaa, representing Donegal at Minor, U21 and Senior levels. He was full-back on the 1982, All-Ireland team who defeated Roscommon. He is also the older brother of former Donegal manager and player Declan Bonner.
A GoFundMe page was launched yesterday by Patrick Brolly.
"We are setting up this fundraiser for a very much loved family from Lettermacaward in Donegal, who sadly are facing a most difficult and unimaginable time, as their beloved husband and father, fights for his life in ICU, in Beaumont Hospital. His family says he has a very long road ahead of him.
TheGoFundMe campaign has been created to ease the financial pressure, that has now been placed on the Bonner family, due to the current situation. The family have to reside in Dublin, which is over 180 miles from Donegal.
"We would love to help to ease some of the financial burden put on the family, as their sole focus should be on Sean, and being together as a family" "Without the added stress of not being able to work, and unexpected costs that they are now facing"
The GoFundMe has a target of €5000, and so far has reached, over €11,000.
If you're in a position to donate at all, no matter how small, it would be greatly appreciated. If you can't then please share this fundraiser.
We ask you to keep Sean and his family in your thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻❤️
