perhaps get one of the local shops you frequent (the likes of superquinn etc) to do a campaign?
Also, local media, like radio etc might be of help.
Ill give it a share

Why does a two-year old need an Ipad?

And what does him having Autism have to do with it?

Edit: Actually, just read one of the images further down the page to do with Irish Autism Action that made it a bit clearer.

You should seriously mention the IAA in your about section, or at least explain exactly how this situation came to be, because on first glance that page just looks like a scam to get people's old phones...

Really?!?maybe take some of your own advice and read IAA and educate yourself instead of posting your ignorant remarks!

Hold your horses now. The chap raises a very good point. If you want people to donate, then you are going to have to clearly explain why and what's it for. The fact that the poster didn't spot about the IAA until later in the description suggests you are missing out on a potential reach.

That was a very ignorant reply to give to someone who was only trying to help.

There is a nice way of pointing things out and I don't think you can say that was done.

I wouldn't see much wrong with how he said what was said. I think you overreacted. But it doesn't matter and we shouldn't be dragging the thread down into a silly debate.

What's done is done, lets just let the OP get donations and people asking specific questions in regards to that.

I have edited my post, I agree that it shouldn't be dragged off topic. The page is genuine and hope to get people on board to donate.
