Fundraising efforts are underway for 14-month-old Amira Rauf from Carlow who has been left paralyzed from her chest down after a car accident towards the end of last year.

Amira sustained critical and serious injuries and was non-responsive at the scene of the accident. She was rushed to hospital in Portlaoise while Amira was treated in Dublin.
