Louise Cooney has raised just over €50,000 for mental health charity, Pieta House.
The Irish influencer, who sadly lost a family member to suicide last year, has asked her followers to give anything they can to the charity, as they’re experiencing a massive surge in calls at the minute.
Taking to social media, Louise said, “I know I’ve been so lucky to be able to isolate in such beautiful surroundings but it isn’t lost on me that while some people are enjoying this rare downtime, for others this is an exceptionally difficult time.
“Being isolated from family and friends, unemployment and uncertainty have a huge impact on mental health.Pieta House have been receiving an unprecedented amount of calls with people looking for help during this difficult time.”
Opening up about the tragic passing of her cousin, Nicky, she continued, “Mental Health is something that’s very close to my heart.
“Less than a year ago my family went through the heartbreak of suicide so I understand first hand the devastation it brings and the importance of having access to services like Pieta House.
“I understand during this time people have lost their jobs and are out of work but I would love if you could donate €5 (or whatever you can afford) to this very worthy cause.
“It really would make such a difference to help everyone at a time when we so need it.”
