Fundraiser in memory of Shea McSheffrey

16 May 2025

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Emma, family & friends for raising a grand total of £8647.02.

We are incredibly grateful especially after suffering with the loss of your son Shea McSheffrey, you chose to support HURT in his memory.

Your strength, generosity, and compassion are truly inspiring.

These funds will go a long way in helping others in HURT with addiction & support when they need it most. Your son’s legacy will live on through the lives touched by the work we do—made possible by people like you.

Thank you so much Ó HEarcáin Emma from all the staff at HURT
