Work starts on Join Our Boys house

Work has commenced on a purpose-built house suitable for the needs of Archie, Isaac and George Naughton, the three Roscommon brothers at the centre of the Join Our Boys campaign.

The home on the Athlone Road in Roscommon is funded by the Join Our Boys Trust, a voluntary organisation created on March 9, 2014, to support Padraic, a native of Ballydangan and Paula Naughton and their three sons, Archie, Isaac and George. The three boys have the catastrophic disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). There is no treatment and no cure. 
The Join Our Boys Trust is a voluntary organisation created by the community with the aim of  ensuring that the boys have the additional resources they require to function and to help them to remain mobile for as long as is possible and to live a life filled with purpose and meaning, despite their physical limitations.
The Trust purchased a site on the Athlone Road in Roscommon for a home suitable for their needs and secured planning permission to build the house. Owen Dervin & Sons Builders and Contractors, Roscommon were selected to construct the house. 
Work on the build started on February 12 last.
People the length and breadth of the country have generously given of their time and money to support Join Our Boys Trust. The money raised has been used exclusively towards achieving the aims of the Trust. 
The Trustees, fundraisers and everyone involved in Join Our Boys are working on a voluntary basis, no wages, no fees, no commission. 
Further information about the trust and how to donate to this very worthwhile and genuine cause can be found at www.joinourboys.org.
