About Us

Light A Candle.ie was established in 2021 as a means to facilitate those in isolation by way of offering and receiving support from friends & loved ones. A donation is made to your selected charity whilst also sending a virtual candle to the person you are thinking of and whose name is selected at time of donation.

Taking the age old Irish tradition of “lighting a candle for you” and presenting it on a digital platform means that thoughts and well wishes can still circulate, although now virtually. Whether it's a job interview, a hospital appointment, driving test or just to show someone you are thinking of them, these virtual candles lit by loved ones and well-wishers may offer solace in these unprecedented times.

Through our accessible platform, you can send a message of intention via email to the person in your thoughts, and also support your selected, deserving charity in the process.

This platform was created for the intention of a dear friend Sara-Jane Tracy who is the definition of the word "warrior" as she has shown immense strength while battling many illnesses such as MS and Kidney failure.
