I’m sleeping out against homelessness

As a parent, I hate to imagine a child not having a safe place to call home, somewhere to do their homework, invite friends over and just be a kid. I know that sleeping out for one night, the 9th of October, won't change their reality, but it's a small way for me to raise awareness and support the incredible work of Focus Ireland. If I can play even a spall part in helping a child and their family find a place to call home, then it'll be a night well spent.

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 family meals together, no community to grow up in, no safe home to rely on.

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.
