Transforming Journeys
BUMBLEance provides lifechanging journeys, allowing access to lifesaving care for hundreds of children each year. Last year, we looked after the journey and allowed parents to take a back seat 2,000 times! Our services are 100% fundraised and 100% free.
Read on to learn how we offered support to one incredible family in Co. Wexford.

Lisa, a mother of three, discovered BUMBLEance just over three years ago, and since then, her family—Lucy (15), Luke (14), and Logan (7)—have become a part of the BUMBLEance family.
All three of Lisa’s children must travel to Dublin for essential medical appointments. Lucy visits Crumlin for regular check-ups, Luke receives treatment at Cappagh and Tallaght hospitals, while Logan travels to Waterford and Crumlin hospitals. To ensure no appointment is missed, Lisa and her family rely on BUMBLEance three times a month.
Luke, at 14, uses BUMBLEance most frequently. He has special needs, epilepsy, and Alport syndrome, a condition affecting his kidney function and carrying risks of hearing and vision loss. In 2021, Luke suffered a fall that led to a hip replacement. Traveling with BUMBLEance has allowed him to remain comfortable and supported after such a significant operation.
According to Lisa the support provided by BUMBLEance is “a lifeline and the kindness of the BUMBLEance drivers and calm atmosphere on board makes long journeys less stressful.''

Middle son, Luke, recently underwent a hip replacement, which requires regular check-ups at Cappagh Hospital in Dublin. What was once a long and stressful journey by train and bus has now become a smooth, worry-free trip for both Lisa and Luke, thanks to the support of BUMBLEance driver Ben.
Without BUMBLEance Lisa and her children would face long journeys to Dublin and Waterford on public transport, making an already stressful situation more stressful.
Travelling with BUMBLEance means Lisa doesn’t have to worry and can focus on her children, who can relax and enjoy movies, books and music on board.
BUMBLEance is always there for Lisa and her family, providing the care and support they need, whenever they need it. Donate now to ensure we can continue our support.
