I’m sleeping out against homelessness.

Right now, more than 5,500 children in Ireland are growing up without a home. Behind that number are childhoods missing the moments that matter: no quiet space for homework, no friends coming over, no family meals together, no community to grow up in, no safe home to rely on.

That’s why I’m going to sleep out against homelessness on Friday 9 October for Focus Ireland's Shine A Light. My school is taking action because every child deserves better.

Please show your support by donating to my fundraising page: every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to creating a future where everyone has a safe place to call home.
