It's Only One Night
Homelessness is a bugbear of mine. The way I see it, housing is Ireland is a disaster after successive Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael governments have seen fit to treat housing in Ireland as an investment vehicle. They want house prices to keep rising and manage that partially by ensuring supply is inadequate. And so now 11,000 adults and, to this country's shame, 5,000 children are without a home. I blame FFFG and I take part in this event partially in anger at them.I took part in Shine a Light last year for the first time. It was a memorable, humbling experience and I am proud of the money I raised to help our homeless. So I'm doing it again, and I want your support.
If you agree with me on these political failings of FFFG, or if you recognise the need for homeless supports like Focus, or if it's been a while since you've donated to charity (or even if it hasn't!), then I hope you'll support Shine a Light.
This Friday 10th October when you're cosy in your bed at night, think of me outside for a brief moment, and then think of all those children without a place to call home.
Thanks for your support!
