EZ Living Furniture has been operating in Ireland for the last 24 years and during this time, the team have come to understand the importance of helping others. Over the years they have been committed to helping as many local charities, communities, and businesses as they can. Several years ago, they delivered a container full of mattresses to children’s charity TLM (Their Lives Matter ). These were used to provide bedding for children with cancer, and 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 Scanlon, who is originally from Wicklow, has been working in Tanzania for more than 15 years helping to treat countless children who are battling cancer. 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 Scanlon and her team of medical professionals is truly heartwarming and it compelled the team at EZ Living Furniture to do whatever they could to help.
Last year, even with Covid-19 bringing most plans to a halt, they still managed to raise a significant amount of money for this very worthy cause. On February 10 this year, EZ Living Furniture donated a whopping €15,000 to Siobhan McDonagh and Orla Flanagan of Their Lives Matter - TLM. This would not have been possible if it were not for the generosity of its customers and the team thank everyone for helping 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 EZ Living Furniture to sell in its stores. The company distributed these face coverings to 14 of its stores across the country, and every single cent collected from those sales was then put aside for TLM.
Last year also saw the return of EZ Living's ever-popular Santa videos. 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 more than €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 would not have been possible without the support of the community and those customers who look to EZ Living for their furniture needs.
