She decided to raise funds for WSI and create water safety awareness through her new business as she wanted to do “anything to save another family going through what we went through.”

Danielle said: “For the month of May, we will be donating all profits from our Daisy Snap Bars to Water Safety Ireland. Our Snap will remain the usual price of €3.95 but we will be turning them blue for the whole month.
