Want to contribute to a great cause? Local help wanted as DIY SOS sets its sights on assisting Kildare family

A County Kildare family is set to appear on 'DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland' — and the show is seeking the assistance of locals in order to make their upcoming project come to fruition.

Taking to social media, the minds behind the hit RTÉ One show have revealed that host Baz Ashmawy and his team are coming to a North Kildare residence this May.

They explained that the crew will head to the Painstown / Donadea area in order to support Kildare residents Ramona Connolly and her five-year-old son Oran.

Both Ramona and Oran experienced a profound change in circumstances following the unexpected death of Ramona's partner (and Oran's late father), Daragh, who died suddenly last December.

In order to benefit Ramona and young Oran, 'DIY SOS: The Big Build' is currently seeking tradespeople, catering companies and supply companies and more for the project.
