The post was liked almost 6,000 times, and people began sharing their donations to encourage others
A spokesperson for Pieta told DailyEdge.ie that more than €5,000 has been donated via people texting PIETA to the 50300 number over the last couple of days, which is “more than usual”.
We had no input into this particular social media campaign, but we can of course only be thankful to everyone who donates to Pieta House.
It is through the unstinting generosity of the Irish public that we are able to offer life-saving counselling to people in suicidal crisis, people who self-harm and those who have been bereaved by suicide.
We may be a nation of messers, but we’re still lovely deep down.
