Work on the Join Our Boys house in Roscommon town began on Tuesday, February 12th. The Join Our Boys Trust had purchased a site on the Athlone Road and secured planning permission to build the house. Owen Dervin & Sons Builders and Contractors, Roscommon were selected to carry out construction.
The Join Our Boys Trust was formally launched in Roscommon on March 9th 2014 to support Padraic and Paula Naughton and their three beautiful sons, Archie, Isaac and George. The three boys have the catastrophic disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) for which there is no treatment or cure.
The Join Our Boys Trust is a voluntary organisation created by the community in Roscommon with the aim of ensuring that the boys have the additional resources they require to function: To remain mobile for as long as is possible and to live a life filled with purpose and meaning, despite their physical limitations.
People the length and breadth of this country have generously given of their time and money to support Join Our Boys Trust and the money raised has been used exclusively towards achieving the aims of the trust. The trustees, fundraisers and everyone involved in Join Our Boys continue to work on a voluntary basis, and receive no wages, no fees or commission. They offer their thanks to those who continue to support this very worthy cause. Visit www.joinourboys.org for more information.
